A driver has been jailed for 13 years over the devastating collision which took the lives of ‘two beautiful sons’, young brothers Sanjay and Pawanveer Singh.
The boys, aged 10 and 23 months, died after the car they were in with their mother was hit by a high-powered Audi on Birmingham New Road in Wolverhampton in 2019.
Today the Audi driver Mohammed Sullaiman Khan, who admitted two counts of death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving was jailed for 11 years.
The 28-year-old was further jailed for two years to run consecutively, having also admitted perverting the course of justice after a plan was hatched to try a conceal what had happened.
He was also disqualified from driving for seven years from release.
His brother Mohammed Asim Khan, 36, was also today given an 18-month jail term, suspended for two years, after being found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
Wolverhampton Crown Court had heard that Sullaiman Khan had reached speeds of over 90mph in the 40mph limit, before his Audi hit the BMW.
In a victim statement to the court, their mother, Arathi Nahar, spoke of her ‘two beautiful sons’.
She said: “My sons gave me joy and gave me the reason and purpose to get up each day and want to provide them with love and gifts all the time. “Since the boys passed away I can only hold on to the memories and look at photos and their videos to feel their precious times we had together.
“Sanjay and Pawanveer had their own strong bond and relationship between them which was magical.
“Sanjay would sing songs and nursery rhymes to his younger brother and I would hear the laughter and fun that the boys had between them and both constantly wanted mine and dad’s attention.
“My house, my life and I died on 14 March, 2019.”
Mrs Nahar, who was seriously injured in the collision, went on to say: “My family and family friends were there for me which gave me the encouragement and strength to take each day at a time.”
