R v MELVYN JOHN BISSELL (2007)

PUBLISHED July 26, 2007
SHARE

[2007] EWCA Crim 2123

A sentence of eight years' imprisonment was not manifestly excessive for an offence of manslaughter by gross negligence where the offender had driven over the victim in his heavy goods vehicle and had then done little to assist her. His callous behaviour after the incident was a serious aggravating feature in determining sentence.
