Law offers hope in murder of Carluke’s Surjit Singh Chokkar
No-one has yet been punished for the violent death of Surjit Singh Chhokar, the 32-year-old who lived and and worked in the Carluke and Law area as a shopkeeper and a waiter and whose relatives are still living locally.
The case sparked controversy after prosecutors failed to secure a conviction for the murder near Mr Chhokar’s then home in Overtown, despite the arrests of three men and two subsequent trials.
