The family of an eight-year-old boy who was callously mowed down while playing in the street by two speeding drivers have spoken of their heartache following his killer's sentencing.
Saffiullah Latif Asif, from Ashton-under-Lyne, suffered catastrophic injuries after he was struck by Kevin Jones in his BMW in July 2020. He had been crossing the road playing a game of tig with his brother and cousin before becoming victim to Jones and his friend Thomas McGrath's dangerous driving. The youngster was rushed to hospital, but sadly later died.
His heartbroken family say they are 'grieving' but thanked the community for their support, saying they are 'pleased to have finally got some justice'.
