This is the face of the learner driver who killed a grandad as he cycled to work. Ravi Singh Ratthore should not have been behind the wheel when he ploughed into Roger Parris, Minshull Street Crown Court heard yesterday (July 5).
Tears were shed as 13 of Mr Parris' loved ones packed the public gallery in courtroom four and tributes were paid to their 'beacon of strength' with a 'zest for life'. His life was tragically cut short months before his planned retirement.
The court heard Mr Parris, a milkman from Salford, was cycling along Centenary Bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal while on his way to work in Eccles.
