Six men were jailed today for a total of 70 years by a British court for causing the death of an Indian-origin businessman by pushing him under a lorry during a robbery.

Shammi Atwal was killed last October when the men raided his cash and carry warehouse and then pushed him under a lorry as he chased after them. The six men were found guilty of manslaughter and conspiracy to rob following a trial in May and sentenced at the Old Bailey court in London.

Judge Nicholas Hilliard ruled that the men '" five of whom are Lithuanian nationals and one British -- would each serve half their sentence in jail, and would be tagged for the rest of their respective terms.

Farhan Sheikh and Reiniks Kivers were handed 13-year prison sentences for manslaughter, with a nine-year sentence for conspiracy to rob to run concurrently.
