A man who drove through a red light while travelling at around three times the speed limit, and killing a man in Lambeth, has been sentenced.

20-year-old Abdirahman Ahmed appeared at Croydon Crown Court on Thursday, where he was sentenced.

Due to Ahmed having entered an early guilty plea, his custodial sentence was reduced to nine-years and nine months.

It’s thought Ahmed’s BMW was travelling up to 60mph in a 20mph zone, when he collided with- and killed- a 44-year-old delivery driver.
