Susannah Proctor, for Bhachu, told the court that her client was a “normal person who’s made a massive mistake”.<\/p>\n
She said he “must live with himself in the knowledge of the devastation he has caused”.<\/p>\n
And she said: “He did not intend to cause this devastation but cause it he has.”<\/p>\n
Hulboj’s fianc\u00e9 Dominik Czepczor watched the sentencing hearing in court.<\/p>\n
A statement from him was read, which said: “My whole world collapsed in one second.<\/p>\n
“Every day I feel a huge void after their departure.<\/p>\n
“We had so many hopes and dreams and in one moment it all ended.<\/p>\n
“My dream was to have a wonderful family, and I must say that it came true for a short while, but that was taken away from me on January 16.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, all that remains are wonderful memories and a constant fight for the next day, which is not easy.”<\/p>\n
Det Insp Paul Conroy, of West Yorkshire Police’s Major Collision Enquiry Team, said: “A woman and her young daughter have died because of the actions of these men, and I know no sentence will ever feel enough to compensate for the lives that have been lost.<\/p>\n
“This sentencing hearing though does mark the end of a long criminal justice process for Justyna and Lena’s family.<\/p>\n
“It is over two years since Bhachu admitted his part in this tragic incident and I know that the wait for justice has taken its toll.<\/p>\n
“My thoughts are firmly with them today.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Susannah Proctor, for Bhachu, told the court that her client was a “normal person who’s made a massive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814576,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-814575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
