Three appeal judges on Friday increased Adil Iqbal’s 12-year jail term to 15 years after hearing how he caused the death of Frankie Jules-Hough.
The former partner of a pregnant mother-of-two who died after a motorway crash has spoken of his disappointment after appeal judges reviewed the jail sentence handed to the “dangerous” driver responsible for the tragedy.
Ms Jules-Hough’s former partner, Calvin Buckley, said October 13 had been the due date of their unborn baby daughter, Neeve. Solicitor General Michael Tomlinson had argued that the sentence was unduly lenient and asked for a review.“This is the worst case of bad driving any of us can recall,” said Lord Justice Bean.Mr Tomlinson said he hoped the increased sentence sent a “stark warning”.
“I am pleased the court has recognised the severity of his crimes and hope Iqbal’s increased sentence sends a stark warning to people who think it is acceptable to drive at high speeds and put the lives of others in jeopardy.”Ms Jules-Hough, 38, had pulled on to the hard shoulder with a puncture, and had her two sons and nephew in her car, judges heard.
