E-bike put in jail after accident

A driver has been imprisoned after “discovery of anger”, which was finished in the death of a young mother, which was knocked on an electric bike on a narrow country lane.

25-year-old Aramestrang was described as “care, kind” mother, who was a passenger on a bike operated by her lover Jordan Newton-K on Batley Lane, Playley, Derbyshire on 26 November, when it was in the grip of a Land Rover Discovery.

Takras Lane, 23 -year -old Keaton Muldoon of Mansfield, had earlier caused death from dangerous driving and severely hurts dangerous driving.

He was sentenced to five years and three months in jail in the Derby Crown Court and banned driving for 12 years and six months.

In June, Muldoon was not found guilty of murder and to severely damaged the intention of Mr. Newton-K, which later dissected his right leg.

Judge Sean Smith Casey described the incident in which Ms. Armstrong died of “angry chase, which was over a mile”, and said that Muldoon said “dangerous maneuvers on a narrow country lane”.

He said that Ms. Armstrong was a “weak road user”, in which Muldoon later disposed of the vehicle and “indicated the finger of the defect” on her uncle.

The court heard that Muldun was treating cocaine near the pass and the light was shining in his car.

Judge Smith said: “You turned and followed … you could have left but you didn’t choose. I rejected that you were afraid.

“I am satisfied because you were irritated and wanted to teach them a lesson by chasing them and scaring them.

“But I agree with the decision that the jury returned, you had no intention of hurting anyone.”

Mr. Newton-K, who attended the court in the wheelchair, had read a victim influence statement in the court by Sally Howce Casey, prosecution.

In this, Mr. Newton-K said that he was planning to propose Alana on his birthday during Amsterdam visit, he was planning.

“I planned the journey and bought the ring and the offer was a great surprise … he never knew about it.

“Ever since she died, I do nothing, I just live in bed.

“I am very angry with the person responsible for this … I wish it would have been the one who would have died.”

The court also heard Ms. Armstrong’s mother from Kerry Hall. He said that his daughter’s death had destroyed her six -year -old grandson, who had to open Christmas, her mother bought her there.

“It is difficult to know where to start … I have lost my child. It breaks my heart that I will never get another chance, I tell him that I love him.

“I will mourn and think of him for the rest of my life – it breaks my heart that she will not see her son growing up.

“His actions have ripped the heart from our family … The light that he brought was tremendous and we will not fully recover from it.”

The CCTV footage seen by the jury in the trial showed the car after two e-bikes before contacting one of the bikes, causing rider and passengers to fall. The car again got away from the scene without stopping.

There was extensive inquiries in the area, but the driver of the vehicle did not come forward, the court heard.

The jury was shown the CCTV image of the passenger at Land Rover, which was published in a media appeal on 29 November and 2 December. In return, Muldoon handed himself over to the police.

During his police interview, he denied being a driver at the time of the collision and named another person, which he said he was responsible.

Adrian Langdel Casey defended and said: “The case was opened by Crown on the basis of continuous pursuit of the bike and Raming … that’s not what has been found.”

He said that Muldoon wrote a “mature” letter of forgiveness and regretted what he had done and the incident had harassed him deeply.

While sentenced to Muldoon, Judge Smith said: “There is no cost on human life.

“I am not putting a price on Alana Armstrong – neither a sentence can be measured by revenge.”
