Richmond: £1.38m watch robbery led to manager’s death, court told

Opening the case, prosecutor Edward Brown KC said office manager Oliver White, 27, had been “tied up” during the robbery.

“There was, however, a postscript to this robbery – and a truly tragic postscript,” he said.

“The following day, therefore 26 May, Oliver White – as a direct result of the robbery – took his own life.”

Mr Brown told the court the defendants played different roles in the plot, with Mr Kunu having entered the premises to carry out the robbery, while Mr Pedro, who did not attend the shop on 25 May, was “closely involved in the planning and execution”, including the use of a stolen Audi as one of two getaway cars.
