Twenty-one year old, Sheffield United striker Jordan Robertson pleaded guilty in Leicester Crown Court for death by dangerous driving. Robertson crashed into the car on Christmas day on the M1, Leicester. The casualties include Mr Mohamed and his kids. Mr Mohamed later died on Boxing day.

Both drivers had been driving down the M1 junction near Lutterworth when Robertson’s sports car hit Mr Mohamed’s Ford Galaxy. Robertson told police he had been retuning a song on his mp3, which distracted him from the events on the road. Robertson was on loan to Southampton at the time of the crash.

One of the popular London newspapers, the London Evening Standard is now going to be free to citizens. Around 600,000 of the newspapers costing 50p each are going to be given out free in London from 12th September.

The current circulation is around 250,000. This move comes about after Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev taking control of the standard from daily Mail-owner associated newspapers in January. A rival, the London Lite paper was already free, though that paper ceased publication. The general idea was that the Lite paper which had a circulation of around 400,000 would merge with another newspaper, leaving just one paper left in London.
