Alexander McKellar was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow over the death of Tony Parsons.
A drink-driver who admitted killing a charity cyclist by hitting him and abandoning him by the side of the road has been jailed for 12 years.
Members of Mr Parsons’s family, including his widow Margaret and children Mike and Victoria, were in court for the sentencing.With “reckless disregard” for the consequences of his actions, he left Mr Parsons by the side of the road “in a remote location during the hours of darkness and in inclement weather”, causing his death.
Tony Parsons’s widow Margaret and the couple’s children Mike and Victoria, right, attended the sentencing hearing “The cause of his death is likely to have been a result of impacted breathing and a bleeding thorax.“There is nothing I can say or do to compensate for their loss.” She had asked him if there was anything from his past that may affect their relationship, and he told her he had hit Mr Parsons with an Isuzu D-Max pick-up while speeding.
The two men were arrested on December 20, 2020 and Mr Parsons’s body was recovered for forensic investigation in January 2021.
