The court heard Mr Singh was killed after he refused to hand over his “hard-earned money” to the men Two men have been jailed for life for murdering a shopkeeper during a robbery at his village store in West Yorkshire.
Gurmail Singh was hit over the head with bottles of wine from the shelves of Cowcliffe Convenience Stores in Cowcliffe, Huddersfield, in February.
Huddersfield men Muawaz Khalid and Nabeel Shafi were previously convicted of murder at Bradford Crown Court.
Khalid, 20, was told he must spend at least 21 years in prison while Shafi, 18, was given a 20-year minimum term.
As the two men were sentenced Shafi shouted: “That’s not right. I’m innocent. I never touched anyone. You’ve got the wrong guy.”
His supporters joined in the shouting before they left the court.
During the trial the prosecution said Mr Singh, 63, was attacked on the night of 20 February after he refused to “meekly hand over his property, his hard-earned money” during the robbery.
He died in hospital the following day.
