Sahota & Sahota Solicitors has been featured in The Independent, with our Director, Kally Sahota, providing comments on the proposed reforms to homicide law in England and Wales.
The proposals consider introducing first and second degree murder offences and changing how the law distinguishes between an intention to kill and an intention to cause serious injury.

We have also recently secured No Further Action decisions in relation to a Metropolitan Police conspiracy to murder investigation (January 2026) and a Leicestershire Police murder investigation (May 2026), with both matters concluded at the police station stage without charge.
If you or someone you know has been arrested or charged for murder or a serious offence, early legal advice is essential.
