Kunathilinghan Mohanthas fatally struck Christopher Hanton in Glasgow city centre last August 5. Mohanthas had told the 40 year-old mortgage advisor to get out his Mercedes Vito just moments after picking him up.

The 48 year-old deliberately hit Mr Hanton as he then drove off leaving the dad of one for dead. Mr Hanton never recovered after hitting his head on the ground and passed away in hospital days later.

Mohanthas was allocated the pick up and drove to the city's George Street where Mr Hanton was. Mr Hanton went in the back before the cabbie then got out and asked him to leave his vehicle, which he did.
