A heartbroken mum has described the prison sentence handed to her daughter's killer as an "insult". Chloe Hayman, 17, died while travelling in a car crashed by Keilan Roberts, who was over the alcohol limit and had taken cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine.
Chloe from Mountain Ash suffered fatal injuries as Roberts drove his Skoda Octavia into a stone wall and cattle grid in the early hours of July 24 last year on Pontlottyn Road in Fochriw, Caerphilly county. Roberts was uninjured.
Judge David Wynn Morgan sentenced Roberts, 22, to three years and nine months in prison after he admitted causing death by driving without due care and attention while over the limit of controlled drugs and alcohol. Speaking after the sentencing, Chloe's mother Danielle told journalists: "Since losing Chloe, our lives have been torn apart. Chloe was a kind, loving, beautiful young girl with her whole life ahead of her. Chloe was the most loving and funny young girl with a fierce loyalty to all those she loved. At only 17 she was just starting to enjoy living life to the full as all teenagers do.
