London - A man accused of killing two sisters with his vehicle has been handed 10 years in jail.

Thomas Lenthall, 40, was arraigned at the Bristol Crown Court on December 14 after pleading guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.

Overspeeding Audi RS6

The deceased, Madison and Liberty North, known to their loved ones as Maddie and Libby, were celebrating graduation when they met their tragic end.

The fatal collision took place on July 25, the Mirror reported.

The accused was behind the wheel of an Audi RS6 along the A361 Frome bypass in Frome, when he careered into a VW Polo.

Maddie and Libbie, aged 21 and 17, were travelling in the Polo and died at the scene of the crash.

They had just popped out of their home to get some soft drinks before a family graduation party.

Besides the sentence, the convict was disqualified from driving for seven years.

Back at home, a man was handed 40 years in jail for killing his lover.

4 decades in jail

An Eldoret court convicted Naftali Kinuthia after being found guilty of killing his girlfriend in 2019.

The man hacked to death Ivy Wangeci, whom she accused of seeing another man beside him.

Until her death, Wangeci was a finalist student at Moi University, where she was undertaking a medicine program.

Justice Reuben Githinji stated that Kinuthia had intentionally planned the student's murder by purchasing an axe for that purpose.

What was the verdict in Ivy Wangechi's murder case?

Githinji said the prosecution had proven, beyond any doubt, that Kinuthia, who killed Ivy in broad daylight, had preconceived to end the young woman's life tragically.

Additionally, the judge also ruled no evidence proved the accused claims of having a sexual relationship with the slain lady.

"Text messages submitted did not prove that the accused was in a relationship, and he did not also provide any evidence of a sexual relationship," he said on Thursday.

The judge, currently stationed in Malindi, delivered the verdict virtually.

Why did Naftali Kinuthia regret his action?

The accused, detained at the Eldoret GK prison, followed the proceedings remotely.

In March this year, Kinuthia apologised to the bereaved family.

He said he would have handled the matter differently, given an opportunity.

The convict told the court that for the four years he had been under police custody, he reflected on his actions and sympathised with Wangeci's family.

How Wangeci's life was cut short

What was to be merry at the deceased's birthday week turned tragic after Kinuthia travelled uninvited to attend.

Kinuthia informed the court that he had funded the party despite being uninvited when he learned Wangeci was interested in another man.

He said he was aggrieved by the deceased's comfort in taking money from him when she knew she was not ready to further their relationship.

Kinuthia revealed he had spent upward of KSh 100,000 to the benefit of the deceased.

His anger reached the pinnacle when Wangeci disowned him before ridiculing his shortness.

He used his axe to fatally hack her twice in the head in the precincts of the Moi Referral and Teaching Hospital (MTRH) where she was undertaking her study practicals.
