Two men, Hardeep Bhachu and Jasskamal Riyat, have been jailed for causing the deaths of Justyna Hulboj, 27, and her four-year-old daughter Lena Czepczor in Leeds. The fatal incident occurred on 16 January 2023 when the women were struck by Bhachu's Audi TT RS as they walked to nursery along Scott Hall Road. Bhachu was sentenced to 12 years after admitting causing death by dangerous driving, while Riyat received 16 years following a jury conviction for racing and causing death.
The court heard the men, who did not know each other, raced their high-performance cars at speeds up to 89mph in a 40mph zone before Bhachu lost control and hit the victims. Judge Singh emphasised that the road was not a race track and highlighted the irreversible consequences of their actions. The case underscores the severe risks of dangerous driving and its devastating impact on innocent pedestrians.
