"Cowardly" driver who killed teen cyclist jailed again
"Cowardly" hit-and-run driver who killed teen cyclist jailed again after leading police on 100mph chase following release
Meek fled the scene, getting a taxi home, prosecutor Peter Hussey telling Liverpool Crown Court three years ago that"it is unlikely Jack knew what happened" due to the severity of the collision and at"no stage did he report the collision to the police or even the ambulance service". It was from the incident that killed Jack that Meek's DNA was already registered on the Police National Computer System, PC Cooling from Cheshire Police saying he"clearly had not learnt" from his previous conviction.
Back in 2021, ahead of his sentencing for the death of the 15-year-old cyclist, Meek wrote a letter to the judge saying he took"full responsibility" for what had happened and that he"found it hard to come to terms with the harsh reality that Jack lost his life solely through my actions". "A nightmare you cannot wake up from and know you will have for a lifetime… no words will ever be enough to express how much this hurts and what a huge loss we all have to come to terms with," she said.We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
