Two men who used a residential road as a racetrack before killing a mother and her four-year-old daughter have been jailed, bringing an end to a long and painful investigation.
As I read about the sentencing of Hardeep Bhachu and Jasskamal Riyat, my mind goes back to the what-ifs. What if someone had noticed their reckless behavior sooner? What if they had faced consequences for their actions earlier on?
Two Men Jailed for Racing on Residential Road
Bhachu admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for 12 years, while Riyat denied racing but was found guilty of the same offences following a trial earlier this year, and was jailed for 16 years.
Audi Speeds Through Residential Area at Up to 90mph
The incident occurred when Bhachu's Audi was traveling at up to 90mph in a residential area. They hit Justyna Hulboj, 27, and her daughter Lena Czepczor, who were walking to the girl's nursery in Leeds.
Justice Served
The sentencing brings an end to a long and painful investigation for the families of the victims. It also serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of reckless behavior on our roads.
The two men involved, Hardeep Bhachu and Jasskamal Riyat, met at traffic lights before deciding to engage in a high-speed chase. Their dashcam footage shows them discussing their cars' performance and horsepower as they sped through the residential area.
According to reports, the incident occurred during morning rush hour on January 16, 2023, on the A61, a major road through Leeds. Justyna Hulboj, 27, and her four-year-old daughter Lena Czepczor were killed when an Audi mounted the pavement in Leeds.
