thedailymirror--2020-10-16--Murderer who killed 5 in explosion has guilt exposed in single blink on live TV

Just hours after he had orchestrated the explosion that killed five people , shop owner Aram Kurd appeared on national TV , playing the innocent victim .
The 34-year-old desperately lied to cover his tracks after Mary Ragoobar , 46 , her sons Shane , 18 , and Sean , 17 , Shane 's girlfriend Leah Reek , 18 , and shop assistant Viktorija Ijevleva , 22 , were killed on February 25 , 2018 in Leicester .
Aram Kurd described the blast , which he started along with Arkan Ali and Hawkar Hassan , as like being 'inside hell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what caused it .
But , in reality , he and the other two men , had set light to 26L of petrol in a botched attempt to commit a £300,000 insurance fraud .
During an interview with the BBC just hours after the blast , Kurd said he was in the storeroom when the blast exploded and was trapped under rubble .
He said : `` I was in the shop with my staff Viktorija , and then , we was watching together YouTube .
`` I said I go to bring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I go to the storeroom , with [ Viktorija 's ] phone in my hand , because we was watching together from her phone .
My phone was on the charger .
`` And then I go there , storeroom belongs to my shop .
There are steps , you go a little down .
And I could not reach the beers .
I just heard a big bang .
`` I did n't know what was that , and I found myself on the floor , eyes open , looking up .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ my body was under the bricks , and rubble , I say for two , three minutes , but I do n't know , it was more than that , less than that , in my opinion that time was about two , three minutes .
`` My eyes was open , but I could n't breathe , or , I do n't know , I was just standing like a picture .
And I see from everywhere fire .
Like I am inside hell .
My eyes not see anything because was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hand . ''
Kurd suffered only minor cuts and bruises in the blast and a panel of experts in body language and speech have now analysed both his TV and police interviews to pinpoint the exact moment he exposes his guilt .
Body language expert Cliff Lansley has analysed the BBC interview and revealed several behaviours that suggest Kurd ’ s story is fabricated .
He explains : `` So , what we ’ ve just seen is what we call a blink sandwich .
We get some rapid blinking , maybe 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a signal of cognitive load .
`` He ’ s thinking hard , and he ’ s maintained an eye contact without blinking as he ’ s making that statement and trying to convince it to be true .
`` Then , at the end of the statement , he recovers with rapid blinking .
If you get that combination of rapid blinking , statement , rapid blinking , the statement in the middle is very often a lie.
” Cliff also draws attention to a micro-head shake , which indicates the truth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He says : `` To reinforce the theory that this is a lie , and what we see at the end of the sentence , is a micro headshake ‘ no , ’ back and forward three or four times .
`` This contradicts the positive statement that ' I was watching YouTube with Viktorija ' . ''
Despite Kurd ’ s role as the lucky lone survivor , the investigation into the blast slowly uncovered incriminating evidence against him .
Just three weeks before the explosion a new insurance policy for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shop by two of Kurd ’ s associates , Hawkar Hassan and Arkan Ali .
Investigators also found evidence that the shop had been doused with petrol .
Brought in for questioning Kurd is notably animated when speaking to officers , gesturing wildly to get his story across .
Cliff says this is further evidence of deception .
He explains : `` He ’ s prepared a story and he ’ s presenting it with so much emphasis .
If the facts are your friend , you just convey your story .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you need to convince the interviewer that what your saying is the truth .
`` These are indicators of deception .
If we look at the video in fast forward , we see the extent of the gestures .
It ’ s almost comical : He sits forward on the edge of his seat ; he ’ s leaning and can ’ t get any nearer to her without leaving the chair . ''
Professor of Linguistics Dawn Archer also claims Kurd ’ s speech also gives his guilt away .
She says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview , he ’ s explaining that he ’ s pressing the phone to get the light to come on 'because I need to get myself into the safe place ' .
`` The different between ‘ the ’ and ‘ a ’ is that we say ‘ the ’ when we know something .
The safe place ’ suggests a known place , it seems to be possible that he ’ s indicating to us , via this verbal slip , that there was this place that he was able to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he could be safe . ''
And when he 's quizzed about his relationship with Viktorija , Kurd claims that she was a new starter at the shop and he hardly knew her .
But he then contradicted himself by saying it was ‘ normal ’ for them to joke around while working .
Dawn says : `` So why would they have a ‘ normal ?
’ You have normal with your partner , you have normal with your kids , you have normal with your friends .
`` You don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started two days ago .
I think this is him slipping up .
This is fabricated . ''
Police soon discovered that Viktorija was well known to Kurd , Hassan and Ali , and was even part of the insurance scam syndicate after helping the gang take out the insurance policy on the shop .
Forensic Psychologist Kerry Daynes believes her tragic death was `` collateral damage '' for the gang in their attempt to line their pockets .
She explained : `` This is not just an insurance scam ; this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were going to get rid of Viktorija because they didn ’ t want her to bite into the £300,000 profit that they were hoping to make on the insurance . ''
And even though Kurd knew Viktorija was dead heused his TV interviews to pray for her safety , presenting himself as a grieving colleague .
However , Cliff Lansley insists his guilt is written all over his face .
He explains : `` This is the prayer gesture showing concern , and you ’ ll see him quickly move into an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eyes .
`` Wide eyes are quite a good reliable indicator of either surprise or fear .
In this case I believe it to be fear .
Why Is Kurd fearful ?
Because he killed her . ''
In November 2018 , Kurd and his two accomplices stood trial at Leicester Crown Court and were found guilty of five counts of murder .
All three were jailed for life .
Kurd and Ali must srve 38 years while Hassan was jailed for 33 .
For Kerry Daynes , the sentences dished out to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loss and life .
She said : `` This is a story about greed .
It ’ s incredibly cold , it ’ s incredibly calculated .
You ’ ve got three men who must have a real disregard for human life to plot something like this . ''

When he was shown the drawing, William said: "Brilliant. That's an incredible drawing."
The couple were also shown friendship bracelets made by a little girl called Minahil Kabeer.
Kate told her: "Thank you. We kept our friendship bracelets very safe, so thank you for those. They're a lovely reminder of our visit when we came to see you."

Minahil asked how the couple's children are and Kate replied: "They're so well. Thank you for asking."
Chatting with the children about how they have been coping this year, Kate asked: "Has it been hard not having visitors, and things like that, coming in?"
Ahmad told the couple he has missed his grandmother.
Saba Faisal, national director at the SOS Village, said that before the schools opened again she had asked the children that maybe they would want the long holiday to continue but that they said "absolutely not, we want to go and meet our friends".

Kate replied: "Our children were the same."
As well as taking part in some fun and games, William and Kate also heard how mental health has become more a focus of life since their visit in 2019.
William asked Mrs Faisal: "Has anything changed on the mental health front in terms of being a bit more acknowledged or recognised in the country since we were there?"
She said "absolutely", adding: "Covid has shifted...it's changed the world, its a new norm now, and definitely mental health has now become a big focus in everybody's lives because of this virus and this disease."
Established in 1977, SOS Children’s Village provides a home and family structure to more than 150 young girls and boys, and promotes the development of children into happy, confident and resilient adults.
William and Kate visited the village twice during their tour where they took part in activities, including cricket and arts and crafts, and joined a birthday party for one of the children supported by the village.
The couple's tour to Pakistan aimed to strengthen ties between the two nations amid political uncertainty and security concerns.
