A drink-driver who killed a University of Salford student after downing 10 pints has had his sentence slashed. David Turner drove an Audi into 19-year-old Gabriel Fields and then refused to co-operate with the police's investigation.
Turner, who has a previous drink driving conviction in 2014, refused for his blood to be analysed, gave no comment to police when questioned and would not hand over his mobile phone to help officers in their investigation. He also did not consent for the police to access his hospital records or test his airbags for evidence of the speed the car was travelling when they went off.
However, following an appeal hearing, his prison sentence has been reduced by almost a year, LancsLive reports.
