Aleksanders Dolars was sentenced to nine years and four months in prison at Warwick Crown Court.

The 23-year-old was driving a BMW at up to 75mph in a 30mph zone when he struck 12-year-old Keaton Slater.

Dolars fled the UK for Latvia after the crash and was subsequently extradited following a legal change.

Judge Kristina Montgomery KC also imposed a 10-year driving disqualification upon his release.

Should the maximum sentence for death by dangerous driving be increased further in the UK?
