“I can never put into words what I have lost": fresh tributes to mum killed in Doncaster crash
It comes after a man was jailed for over 10 years for killing 30 year old Keita Mullen in 2022
The mum of a woman killed in a crash in Doncaster almost three years ago has issued a fresh tribute to her daughter, after a man was jailed over 10 years for causing the collision.
30 year old Keita Mullen, a mum of three young children, was fatally injured when she was struck on Bawtry High Street by a car being driven by Matthew Harris.
One of her friends was also injured in the crash in July 2022.
Last week 36 year old Harris was handed a 10 year eight month sentence after admitting to causing her death.
He'd got behind the wheel after drinking 11 pints of lager and was speeding at the time.
Keita’s mother said: “I can never put into words what I have lost, it’s not just birthdays, holidays, and special occasions, but every minute of every day I miss Keita. The pain and emptiness I feel is indescribable and irreparable.
“Keita’s children have lost the most important person and role model in their life. For as long as I live, I will never forget their screams after telling them the devastating news.
"Each one will have to overcome different difficulties throughout their lives, it is something that should have never been an issue and something they should never have had to face.
“We do not know the impact the death of Keita will have on the children long term, the trauma they have suffered is immeasurable.
“Everything that Keita was, loyal, kind, generous, a beautiful mind and soul were cruelly and callously taken by a person the total opposite, with none of these attributes.”
In a statement read before court, Keita's father said: “Matthew Harris what you have done to Keita, and all who love her is something you should reflect on every day of your life.
"One day you will regain freedom. None of us affected by her loss will ever be free to spend time with Keita again. That is entirely your fault."
