Man City youth player Meppen-Walter jailed for 16 months.
Manchester City youth player Courtney Meppen-Walter was
jailed for 16 months on Thursday for causing the death of a brother and sister while
speeding in his Mercedes in central Manchester.
Judge Martin Steiger QC sentenced Walter to two 16-month
terms, which will run concurrently, and he was also banned from driving for three
years.
Courtney Meppen-Walter was driving at nearly double the
speed limit of 30 miles per hour when he
hit a car carrying the deceased victims Kulwant Singh, 32, and his 37-year-old
sister, Ravel Kaur.
The 18 year old City Youth player broke down in tears in court as sentence was passed and Gwyn
Lewis, defending, said the England youth international was "truly
sorry" for what he had done.
"He was only just 18. He became involved in a matter
that only took a few seconds that will remain with him for the rest of his
life.” Lewis said
Meppen-Walter appeared for City twice as substitutes for
Champions League matches, he was billed to make his debut for the senior team.
