All but one of these dangerous men succeeded in their bid to take another's life. In addition to being locked up for their chilling crimes, they also have something else in common as their motives remain a mystery. The reasons behind their callous actions have never been revealed, adding to the torture of those left living with the consequences. Painstaking
police investigations have also failed to secure concrete explanations. Hours of CCTV footage has been trawled through, phones and computers analysed, and scenes and evidence forensically examined in a bid to uncover the truth. But ultimately, it is a cruel secret these men have taken with them to their cells.

BREAKING stories. Hayden Frost Hayden Frost This 'calculated'
Gunman hid in a bush as he spied on his unsuspecting victim, before following him while on a night out with friends. Hayden Frost waited for the man to be alone before he unleashed a terrifying attack and fired a flurry of gunshots towards his head. Frost, of Laburnum Avenue, Solihull , had lurked outside two pubs in Marston Green and then jumped on his e-bike to tail the man - from a distance - as he got into a car and drove to Cranberry Road, Chelmsley Wood, hiding in the shadows as the victim parked up. The 26-year-old emerged when the man separated from his
Friends and walked to a nearby cashpoint and forced him to run for his life as he chased him while discharging up to five gunshots before fleeing the scene. Frost, who left the victim with a bullet wound to his neck, was handed a 32-year jail sentence after being convicted of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, however the motive remains a mystery. Following the sentencing, Detective Inspector Francis Nock, from West Midlands Police's major crime team, said: “We will never know the motive for this senseless attack but maybe during the many years Frost will spend in
prison he will reflect on his actions and we may eventually get to know the truth." Damaine Sculley Damaine Sculley (Image: WMP) A drug dealer carried out the 'cold-bloodied execution' of a man he arranged to meet in a Birmingham car park. Tyrone Dorsett was shot dead at point-blank range as he sat in his Volkswagen
golf in South Holme, Bordesley Green on April 15, 2018. The 20-year-old had travelled with friends from Telford in Shropshire to meet a group of three people, one of whom was drug dealer Damaine Sculley. The reason for the encounter was never revealed, however as it had been set up via serving prisoners - who were in contact with both groups using mobile phones from their cells - police believed it was "likely arranged to conduct serious criminality". But within minutes of arriving at the small car park, close to Birmingham City
Football Club, Tyrone was shot dead by Sculley as he sat in the driver’s seat of his car. For "reasons unknown" he was shot twice from behind at point blank range with a self-loading pistol. Sculley was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum of 30 years . Detective Chief Inspector Adam Jobson, who led the investigation for West Midlands Police , said: “Tyrone had travelled to Birmingham from his home in Telford. "He travelled with friends to the location and for reasons unknown he was shot at point-blank range whilst sitting in his car. Whilst the conviction of Damaine Sculley brings an end to the police investigation and some closure for the family of Tyrone, it is acknowledged that the pain they feel at the loss of Tyrone will last a lifetime and our thoughts remain with them.” Ammar Kahrod Ammar Kahrod (Image: West Midlands Police) A man with "everything to live for" was killed when Ammar Kahrod launched his "completely senseless attack". James Brindley was walking home from the pub on June 23, 2017, when he was fatally stabbed. The 26-year-old had met two friends for a drink in Aldridge town centre but after half an hour, they had decided to head home. CCTV captured the university graduate on the phone to his girlfriend as he walked through Croft Park - and just moments later, the same camera picked him up walking back over the same ground, before he collapsed on the pavement. Kahrod, who was 17 at the time, had plunged a kitchen knife into the James' chest with “severe force". Despite the efforts of paramedics and a doctor, who performed open heart surgery in the street , he could not be saved. A jury dismissed Kahrod's claims he had acted in self-defence and unanimously convicted him of murder. He was later given a life term and ordered to serve a minimum of 17 years behind bars . Following the conviction, Detective Chief Inspector Chris Mallett from West Midlands Police's homicide unit, said: “We have never established the true nature of the events which led to James being stabbed - only his killer knows that, but we are certain it was a completely senseless attack on a man who had done absolutely nothing to warrant such violence. He had everything to live for, he didn’t deserve this." Simon Wilkins Picture: WMP Description: Simon Wilkins battered, stabbed and burnt Arturas Busma after luring to his flat in Tettenhall Road on April 20, 2020. This twisted killer tortured and killed a dad-of-two during a sustained attack following a chance meeting in Wolverhampton. Simon Wilkins battered, stabbed and burnt Arturas Busma after luring him to his flat in Tettenhall Road on April 20, 2020. The 39-year-old victim met his crazed killer when buying alcohol from a nearby shop and was in the "wrong place at the wrong time". Wilkins went to Wolverhampton police station the next day and told officers he'd punched a man, who now wasn't breathing, claiming he'd retaliated when Arturas had pulled a knife on him. Police went to Wilkins' flat following the confession and found the "loving husband" dead with a stab wound to the chest, burn marks and injuries consistent with being stamped on. Wilkins pleaded guilty to the murder but his version of his victim being the aggressor was not accepted by the court and he was jailed for a minimum of 17-and-a-half years . Detective Inspector Laura Harrison , from the West Midlands Police homicide unit, said at the time: "Sadly the family of Mr Busma will never really know why their loved one was taken away in such a brutal way. It appeared he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and happened to come across Wilkins. He was persuaded to go the flat and it was there he was killed." Erlin Hasa Killer Erlin Hasa. This killer left three children fatherless when he stabbed Marian Savu 62 times at a party in Great Barr. The 43-year-old was brutally knifed without warning by Erlin Hasa after they’d spent the evening drinking with friends at a flat on Perry Villa Drive. The attack spilled out onto the street and down an alleyway as Marian tried to escape, with distressed neighbours alerting police after waking to the sound of 'shouting and screaming'. Marian sadly died at the scene on March 2, 2021. Hasa, who opened the flat door to police 'covered in blood', refused to answer any questions about what happened, with police saying the "motive for the attack remains unclear". He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years after he was found guilty of murder - but that provided little comfort to Marian's widow. In an emotional victim impact statement read out in court, she described Hasa as a "monster" and said no sentence would ever "be enough" for "taking a life without hesitation". She added: "We will never have peace in our hearts again as they have all been broken into a million pieces." Martyn Turley Martyn Turley (Image: WMP) This drunken killer "offered no explanation as to why he did what he did" - although detectives said no motive could ever "justify the senseless murder off a young man". Martyn Turley stabbed Stuart Roe repeatedly in Springfield Drive, Halesowen , during the early hours of December 30, 2018. Although both men had been out drinking in Rowley Regis, they did not cross paths and were not previously known to each other. They had headed home at around the same time, but took separate routes before coming face to face in Olive Hill Road at around 1.20am. CCTV showed there appeared to be an altercation, with Turley grabbing a metal bar from a skip, while Stuart, 34, armed himself with a rock. However no threats were made and the two men parted ways, heading to separate properties - until minutes later, Turley came back out onto Springfield Road armed with a knife, actively searching for Stuart. On seeing him, he rushed towards him and stabbed him multiple times before calmly walking away from the scene. Stuart was found by a member of the public at around 1.30am but sadly nothing could be done to save him. Turley initially denied charges of murder and possession of an offensive weapon in public, but changed his plea as his trial began. He was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years . Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Inspector Caroline Corfield, from West Midlands Police's homicide team, said: "This was such a shocking and appalling crime committed by Turley, and one where he has shown absolutely no remorse. There is seemingly no reason for the attack, and to date he’s offered no explanation as to why he did what he did. That said, no motive can ever justify the senseless murder of a young man, or undo the pain and suffering inflicted on Stuart’s family."
