Hayes triple teen killer Jaynesh Chudasama jailed for 13 years | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A drink-driver who hit and killed three teenage boys as they walked to a birthday party in west London, has been jailed for 13 years. | |
Harry Rice, 17, George Wilkinson and Josh McGuinness, both 16, died instantly when Jaynesh Chudasama struck them at more than 70mph in Hayes. | |
Chudasama had admitted three counts of causing death by dangerous driving. | |
He was described by one of the boys' parents as "a coward" after he ran away from the scene. | |
Reacting to the sentencing at the Old Bailey, the victims' parents said the jail term was "an insult to the lives of their children". | |
Chudasama, 28, of Hayes, had traces of cannabis in his system when he ploughed into the teenage boys on Shepiston Lane, on 26 January. | |
The court heard in February that Josh was struck with such force he was thrown over a fence and into a nearby cemetery. | |
Harry was carried on the bonnet of the car until it crashed into the cemetery wall, and a girl held George's hand as he lay half in the road and half on the pavement. | |
Chudasama fled the scene, but was pursued and caught by two boys before subsequently being arrested by police. | |
Sentencing Chudasama, Judge Wendy Joseph QC said: "It is obvious that nothing any court can do can measure the loss of Josh, Harry and George for the obvious reason that their loss is immeasurable." | |
She jailed for 13 years and disqualified him from driving for 13 years and six months. |
