Description

A man, Banaras Malang, was sentenced to eight years in prison for attempting to convert nine blank-firing guns into deadly weapons. He bought the guns legally and acquired specialized equipment to make them lethal. Malang exploited a vulnerable person to place orders for the equipment. Since 2021, over 800 converted weapons have been recovered in the UK, linked to various crimes, including at least four killings. Malangs activities were hidden using false names and addresses, but he is now serving his sentence.
