A man has admitted killing a bus driver and injuring seven other people in a crash last Halloween in Orpington, south east London.
Kenneth Matcham, 60, died on Sevenoaks Road after Dorjan Cera's car collided with two single-decker buses on 31 October.
Cera, 20, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Friday to causing Mr Matcham's death by dangerous driving. Judge Wendy Joseph adjourned sentencing until 6 August at the same court.Nor was dangerous driving his only offence:
Cera, of Hillingdon, also admitted seven further counts of causing injury by dangerous driving, being unlicensed and uninsured and possession of an identity document with improper intent.
Judge Joseph said everybody who had been affected by the crash "must be utterly devastated" by what happened.They will be when they hear it could have been prevented. Just two years ago:
An 18-year-old has been jailed for two years after he was caught with 26 wraps of cocaine in Hersham . When he was stopped by police on June 28 this year, Dorjan Cera showed police officers a photograph of a Lithuanian driving licence in another name which he had used to hire the car he was driving, Guildford Crown Court heard.
Naomi Edwards, for the prosecution, said Cera had told police officers that he found the drugs in the Audi Q3 and had intended to hand them into the authorities. He was arrested and a further false Portuguese driving licence was later found at his home address during a police search.Well, well, well.
So...why was he still here, driving like a manic and killing innocent people two years later?
Mr Ingle suggested Recorder Whitehouse should suspend his client's sentence because Cera, who arrived in the UK from Albania when he was 16, is seeking asylum and a custodial sentence could potentially jeopardise this.We must be mad to keep putting up with this, mustn't we..?
"...is seeking asylum and a custodial sentence could potentially jeopardise this."
ReplyDeleteHow is this anyone's fault but his own? Yet people who voted to leave the EU are just racists for not wanting open borders that allow an endless stream of people like him into the country.
Published misspellings or the confusion of adjectives with nouns aside, there can be no worse threat to these shores than some limit imposed upon our continued enjoyment of a rich cultural diversity.
ReplyDeleteThe scope and callosity of Eastern European criminals opens up many new learning opportunities in our major cities for home-grown, Get Rich or Die Tryin' delinquents of no particular description.
I'm not in favour of sending him back - alive. Jar of ashes, maybe.

ReplyDeleteQuite!

Perhaps the RAF could use some airdrop practice?
