A 29-year-old man from north London has been sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison after allegedly hitting an 89-year-old man and abandoning his body on the roof of his car. Albert Matraxhiu, from Edgware, was convicted at Maidstone Crown Court on Friday following a trial that detailed the severity of his actions. The incident, which shocked local authorities, involved Matraxhiu speeding and colliding with the elderly pedestrian, before dragging him onto the car's roof and leaving him for dead.
Witnesses reported the chaotic scene, with Matraxhiu fleeing the scene immediately after the collision. Emergency services were called but found the victim in critical condition. The case has sparked public outrage and renewed calls for stricter enforcement of road safety laws.
Matraxhiu’s sentencing reflects the gravity of his actions, with the court emphasizing the lack of remorse shown. The case is now being reviewed by legal experts to determine if further charges could be pursued. (independent.co.uk)
