The accused, Furqan Akhtar and Saifullah Dero, were found guilty by a jury of criminal negligence causing death and two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm while street racing.
The offences involved racing at high speeds (up to 144 km/h in a 60 km/h zone) on a city street, resulting in a fatal collision that killed one person and seriously injured two others.
The court considered aggravating factors such as the extreme speed, dangerous driving on a busy city street, and the horrific consequences, balanced against mitigating factors including the youth of the first-time offenders and their rehabilitative prospects.
The court imposed a concurrent sentence of 30 months imprisonment for each accused, along with a 10-year driving prohibition, a 10-year weapons prohibition, a DNA order, and forfeiture of the vehicles.
