2-year old killed in hit-and-run, McDonald Road (1 Viewer)

[Nick]

They are accused under joint enterprise of two counts of causing death by dangerous driving after Corey and Casper Platt-May - aged six and two - died following a collision on Macdonald Road at around 2pm.

I'm not sure, they must think it was him driving though.

Beat me to it, even worse no license, no insurance which was the bloke.

She has been charged with common assault, I wonder what that's from?

She was whacking someone trying to detain the driver.
Re Grendel I've also Wondered that, aided and abetted?

It was him driving. The bloods must have come back as being under the limit.

Really?

Surprised they both made it to the police station in one go.

 

[wingy]

Out of interest why would the passenger be charged with death by dangerous driving? I don’t understand how they can be.

Says Joint enterprise
I thought that had been discredited in the last few years and rescinded ,something to do with a high profile case ?
Stephen Lawrence ?

 

[Ashdown]

It's been confirmed it is those people off social media now!

Man and woman charged over deaths of two young brothers

Absolute scum. Completely flout every law going, no respect for anyone, disgusting bastards should be strung up !!

Mavistrates court this morning in Leamington.

Both denying being the driver I expect

Have they both been charged with dangerous driving ? If so is it possible they don't know who was behind the wheel. According to my wife's friend when she arrived on the scene the woman was attacking him calling him a murderer and he was asking why was she hitting him, that might be what the common assault charge is. They may be blaming each other, he has done time before after stealing cans of oil from a garage of all things, sounds like a proper twat.

I know from hearing stories that my dads generation it was the done thing. Was there some sort of push to make it be seen as a bad thing to do? None of my friends would even consider it.
Older people at work and in the pub etc it’s seen as a bit of a giggle. “LOL drove home pissed last night” where as everyone around my age that I know you’d get slated. Anecdotal evidence but still interesting.

Anecdotal evidence, I have a few stories, its true we all used to laugh about it but my circle got away without harming anyone else however one of the bosses where I worked (40 years ago) killed someone drink driving.

 

[shmmeee]

Though it may be laudable the roads are less safe now than then. There still wasn’t a huge percentage who drank over the limit. Nowadays however whenever you are on the road there are people texting using social media etc. all the time.

Yesterday I saw some young girl in her car I assume FaceTiming driving one handed not even looking at the road.

Research shows that using phones is worse than being twice over the drink drive limit and a huge percentage are guilty of it every day.

While I agree with your overall point about phones. It’s complete nonsense to claim the roads were safer back then:

 

[Covstu]

Have they been sentenced yet?

I wish the council could evict these fuckers out of our city. Certainly refuse to House or pay their benefits

 

[shmmeee]

On topic: they’re fucking scum. Mine are 2 and 8 and this hit home hard.

I hope they throw the book at them.

It isn’t as the correlation you are using with that graph is statistically anomalous

 

[Houchens Head]

Remanded in custody. I wish it was custard. Permanently boiling custard!

The c**t is doing his best to get a long sentence.

They didn't even bother with seat belts then though in the early 80's !

If they're using serious injury and deaths as the measure then it has to be remembered that technology and vehicle safety are in a different stratosphere now for both occupants and pedestrians.

I hope they throw the biggest book they can find at him. He obviously couldn't give a shit.

He'd better watch his back in prison.

Not until Jimmy Seville told us to "clunk click every trip"

All of the talk about reducing the drink drive limit to zero would not change the behaviour of these vile perpetrators.
Sadly they are part of an underclass who are beneath the law and have no respect for anyone or anything. I really do not know how you would put a stop to these blights on societyother than by getting rid of the benefits system that allows them to stay in drugs, fags and booze and keeps a roof over their shitty fucked up heads.

Agree but nothing will change thanks to the pathetic do- gooders.....I know loads of families playing the system and tell you what....they're better off than me working my arse off for my family..

 

[Houchens Head]

Because he'll probably be classed as a child killer, he will more than likely end up here at Parkhurst (now HMP Isle of Wight). It's mainly for lifers, perverts and child killers. The likes of Paul Gadd (Gary Glitter) is here. It's an awesome place. I drive past it a lot. The Kray twins, Peter Sutcliffe and Ian Brady have all served time here. Trouble is, with this place, most of the cons are pretty much the same mind-set. They wouldn't really bother with him. He needs to go to HMP Gartree or Long Lartin. He wouldn't last 5 minutes in either of those. Bastard!

 

[Houchens Head]

He probably thinks that if he gets a long sentence, Coventry people will forget all about him when he comes out. He'll have a shock then, won't he? Cov kids have long memories!

To be fair there's no doubt plenty of the 'upper classes' and super-rich who feel the laws of the land do not apply to them either. You can't also punish the majority due to the actions of a minority either.

He will do well to make it back out considering his crime and attitude towards it.

 

[LastGarrison]

Her Facebook page makes some interesting viewing and reading and already a few people insinuating that he will be receiving a warm welcome on the inside.

Doubt he'll get classed as a child killer and go to Parkhurst though, I would imagine it will be Winson Green and then onto somewhere like Hewell.

That's a stunning reduction isn't it

 

[Captain Dart]

Not surprising at all if you have memories of being driven down the motorway at 80 in a mini in the 70's, jumping all over the place, a real white knuckle ride. Cars are so much safer.

I don't think they'll be able to come back to Cov H.
Unfortunately some other town will have to house these lowlife.

Apparently she has a daughter who she is estranged from and her and her child are receiving death threats on social media. How the fuck is that going to help?

 

[chiefdave]

I had hoped that there was a reason they hadn't stopped, maybe just clipped the kids and not realised. Having seen a picture of the car there's no way on earth they didn't know what they had done and decided to drive off.

Accidents happen but when you've got someone who shouldn't be driving who appears to have been speeding and drove off I wouldn't really class it as an accident. They deserve everything they get. The behaviour in court is just bizarre. How can you do something like that and not be in pieces and full of remorse?

This kind of thing brings all the plebs out. General scum bags who sieze the opportunity to momentarily enjoy the moral high ground. Don't give 2 hoots for the victims just want to spit bile

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

I think they should be put in a cell with the parents and a few relatives for a few minutes to dish out a bit of justice

 

[Macca]

I have a feeling whoever is proven to be the passenger may well get off lightly

 

[wingy]

Been hearing the speed was 55mph .
