Man pleads guilty to stab murder

Gurewal will be sentenced for Mr Kalon's murder on 5 September

A man has pleaded guilty to the murder of a "loving husband" who was stabbed to death in Gravesend five years ago.

Kamaljit Singh Kalon was found lying wounded at the entrance to Gordon Park on 10 July 2003 and died in hospital.

At Maidstone Crown Court, Guljinder Singh Gurewal, aged 33, of no fixed address, admitted murdering him.

Mr Kalon, from Sidcup, south-east London, who was known as Bobby, left a wife, Ravinder, who had three children from a previous marriage.

Mr Kalon had travelled to Gravesend on the day of his death for a pre-arranged meeting with some men he knew.

Police said Mr Kolan's murder was a horrendous crime

His wife previously described him as a "loving husband and someone who was devoted to his family in the UK and relatives in India".

Kent Police and Mrs Kalon made a number of appeals for information over the whereabouts of Gurewal before he was arrested in December 2007.

Det Supt Anne Brittain said: "This case shows how committed and relentless we are in tracking down those who commit these horrendous crimes.

"As of today, one man is in prison having been brought to account for his actions. The file will not close, the case will remain open until all those responsible are brought to justice."

Gurewal will be sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on 5 September.
