Omar Choudhury and Hamidur Rahman have been locked up
Two boy racer BMW drivers who caused the death of a talented 16-year-old girl following a 'petty disagreement' have been locked up. Alisha Goup, 16, was hit by Omar Choudhury after he mounted the pavement.
The pair, both driving BMWs, met in a chance encounter earlier on Chadderton Way on February 23. Rahman brandished a baseball bat before Choudhury set off 'like a rocket', with Rahman in pursuit. Mitigating for Choudhury, Jennifer Devans-Tamakloe reiterated that her client was being chased and was genuinely remorseful. "He commented that he couldn't even imagine the pain and distress felt by the victims family," she said.For Rahman, Sarah Magill read a letter he had written, which said: "I feel total pain and heartache over the incident and the fact I played a part in it. I pray her parents and siblings can find peace and can forgive me for the wrongs to them.
"We are a small, quiet, very private family, we did everything together as a family every Friday was a takeaway and movie night, every Saturday was an eating out night and every Sunday was a walking day out. Weekday evenings we always walked to do our shopping, we goofed around, laughed, joked, talked about life goals, told stories of the day and argued during those shopping trips.
"Our whole world fell apart. We all cried. A part of us died that day too and we all would give anything to have our Alisha back."
