Absolutely heartbreaking beyond words, the couple in the car actually fled the scene and were later arrested. How can they possibly live with themselves for taking the lives of two innocent kids?
|

By:
Words fail me. The poor poor parents, having to live with such grief for the rest of their lives.

The government continually waffles around this topic - all crime is easily solved by serious tough deterrent and no poncy sentences, they just have to ignore the cost of keeping the unclean in prison (which is why sentencing always seems lenient).
There are those who will bleat they would have done it anyway but I don't believe they would of if the minimum sentence was 30 years. As my grandmother says, once you had the birch you wouldn't do it again. Pedos, guns, knives, drink driving, muggers, burglars, all to be tarred with the same brush, no use to society and should all be locked up for 30 years no parole ! |

There should be more public information films about driving. Standards are SO bad now compared with a few years ago.
Use of indicators. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre. Stay on your own side of the road. No using the phone AT ALL. and so many others. Then the heavy sentences - because there'd be no surprise when 30 years was given for an awful crime like this. |
|
By:
Not sure what the maximum sentence will be in this case but I'd bet it aint anywhere near what it should be.
Anyone drink driving is endangering other road users lives and apart from a sentence for this should lose their licence for life if over a certain limit or for a second offence. |
|
By:
In cases like this it should be a lifetime ban from driving as well as a long custodial sentence.
|
|
By:
Akabula, I would give the drunk driver at least a 12 year custodial if I were the judge.

Two young lives ended due to selfish uncaring people - this has really upset me. When you see pictures of the happy little fellas and listen to their grandad describing them, it's too much. Life is shyte sometimes.
|
|
By:
not sure it's been passed as yet but they were pushing for a change to make it life imprisonment
|
|
By:
Drunk drivers if caught should be charged with more than being over the limit, something along the lines of attempted manslaughter, basically its using a lethal weapon without being in control, of course no such charge will ever come into being but something along those lines should, until it does your always get selfish barstewards drinking & driving without a thought for anyone but themselves.

Heart wrenching loss of two siblings so young and innocent but struggling to find any real facts of how they died and if they were crossing the road or on pavement ,everyone has the driver convicted but so few tangible facts other than driver and passenger fled the scene and driver been charged with dr10 . Some media outlets calling it a hit and run others saying the driver and passenger fled the scene ,can it be both ? It's not impossible the driver had little chance to avoid collision but that defence is no longer an option due to excess alcohol consumption .Looked a high speed impact and if convicted I hope they throw the key away and convict the passenger too but some basic info needed first .Roads have always been dangerous places for children ,as mentioned the current competency of driving is severely lacking in some groups and if this accident was an elderly lady or a young teenage girl the coverage might be different ,driver could be just over the limit ,had no choice but to flee scene due to fear of being killed and he could have had no chance to avoid collision .

As ever a twisted take on things from the Hag ,and there's no capitals ,it's bnb cheers
|

By:
whatever you say BNB. we can all see your post. it was the kids' fault. the driver and associate were merely acting out of self-preservation.
|
|
By:
shocked at that post frankly, he was speeding, he was over the limit, he fled having hit a group of kids, total scum imo
give your head a shake |
|
By:
Even if you're hypothesisis was true bnb, fleeing the scene is what most people would consider unpardonable
|
|
By:
Seems he was disqualified, no insurance, speeding. Pure scum.
|
|
By:
a pure c@nt

|
By:
wonder what we will calling the judge after sentence
|
|
By:
Fact these scumbags only serve half their sentence, 25 years would still be short but what
are chances of that ? |
|
By:
i posted above re the change when passed to life, but if the old law is still in place the max is 14 years
i'm not sure how the loss of two lives will be viewed if the judges hands are tied and this idiot gets 14 or less |
|
By:
Truly dreadful 2 young boys dead after such a tragedy , there are so many complete idiots these days driving like mainaics who do not care for anybody or anything
|
|
By:
Drink driving, driving whilst disqualified, no licence, no insurance.
Lock them up and throw away the key. |

i feel for the family of the 2 little lads whose grief must be unimaginable...
|

By:
The 53 yo accused of causing the death of the two boys was in court yesterday.
The case had to be adjourned because the accused was shouting obscenities at the judge. "This is a f***ing kangaroo court" and "Your a p***k". he screamed. Will be reconvened via a video link. Obviously no remorse whatsoever. C**t. |
|
By:
Throw away the key, what a monster.
|
|
By:
9 years for him, 6 months for her. Both 4 times legal limit for cocaine (I would've presumed legal limit was zero, but apparently not.) No licence, obviously no insurance, 30 previous convictions for driving without said licence or insurance, and fled scene. No mention of alcohol in report I saw tbf.
I'm a pinko leftist libtard but I feel this is a bit lenient. |
|
By:
its not that far off max sentence
law needs to be fixed, but it wont stop the crimes, should be life for him |
|
By:
31 previous driving convictions
never held a licence should just crush his car with him in it no loss to society hopefully someone kills the **** in prison |
|
By:
Charge should have been Murder ,Life no parole ,sadly we are no longer allowed to string up lumps of Shyte ,Due to our Luvvie friends .
|
|
By:
A Tragedy people are calling this , the Tragedy is the Laws in this country that allow repeat offenders to keep re offending
The word Tragedy does cover the outcome for the family of these two Children.. 9 years ? it will be back out an behind the wheel of a vehicle in 6 max . Just hope it is not on the same road as you or your family . 31 Driving Offences I wonder what Else maybe on the List ? |

If it was my kids he can pay his debt to society.............and then he would pay his debt to me. And of course there's no prize for guessing who would spend longer inside
 |
|
By:
I agree with bigH although i'd prefer immediate execution for scum like him.....what is the point of allowing people like him to live;he contributes nothing to society and should be put down.
