Driver sentenced to 13 years after killing two young brothers in Wolverhampton crash
Mohammed Sullaiman Khan admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
Mohammed Sullaiman Khan, 27, has been sentenced to 13 years after being convicted for killing two young brothers.
He's also been disqualified from driving for 7 years.
23-month-old Pawanveer Singh and his brother, Sanjay, 10, died after Khan ran a red light on Birmingham New Road in March 2019 and hit their car. Their mother was seriously injured during the crash.
Khan reached speeds of 90mph in a high-powered Audi before running through the traffic lights and hitting the family's BMW. The BMW was then pushed into metal railings. Both boys suffered catastrophic injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The boys were already in their pyjamas and heading home after collecting tea from a fish bar where their father worked.
Khan fled and by about 10pm, he was in a burger bar in Sparkbrook. CCTV shows him in discomfort from the impact of the collision he'd been in less than two hours earlier.
At some point, a plan was hatched to cover up his involvement and at 10.20pm, Khan's brother, Mohammed Asim Khan, rang the police to report his brother's car as stolen.
Mohammed Sullaiman Khan, aged 27, of Pershore Road, Edgbaston, admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, and one count of causing serious injury at an earlier hearing.
During the trial he further admitted perverting the course of justice.
Mohammed Asim Khan, 35, of Shaftmoor Lane, Hall Green, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice for lying to police about the 'burglary'.
He has been sentenced to 18 months in jail, suspended for two years.
Mohammed Adil Khan, 34, of Newnham Road, Edgbaston, and Rashane Henry, 31, of Fairway Green, Bilston, were cleared of perverting the course of justice.
The driver of a Bentley, Hamza Shahid, 35, of Newbridge Road, Birmingham, which was being driven near the Audi, was found not guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and also not guilty of causing serious injury.
He denied racing the Audi, and told the court he had been speeding to avoid the aggressive driving of Khan.
In a victim statement to the court, their mother, Arathi Nahar, spoke of her 'two beautiful sons'.
She said: "My sons gave me joy and gave me the reason and purpose to get up each day and want to provide them with love and gifts all the time.
"Since the boys passed away I can only hold on to the memories and look at photos and their videos to feel their precious times we had together.
"Sanjay and Pawanveer had their own strong bond and relationship between them which was magical.
"Sanjay would sing songs and nursery rhymes to his younger brother and I would hear the laughter and fun that the boys had between them and both constantly wanted mine and dad's attention.
"My house, my life and I died on 14 March, 2019."
Mrs Nahar, who was seriously injured in the collision, went on to say: "My family and family friends were there for me which gave me the encouragement and strength to take each day at a time."
