A cyclist killed an elderly woman after he collided with her at speed as she walked on the pavement and callously rode off. Elizabeth Jayne Stone suffered a fractured skull after being knocked off her feet and died days later in hospital.
Stewart McGinn did not check to see if the 79-year-old was injured after he crashed into her in Monmouth on June 7 last year despite her friend pleading with the cyclist to stop. He handed himself into police after seeing an appeal after Ms Stone's death.
The victim's family spoke of their "devastation" after the great-aunty was killed in a "senseless and unnecessary" incident. They said up until her untimely death she led an active life and was a huge presence in the community.
