A driver has admitted murdering a cyclist who suffered serious injuries
and later died following a road traffic collision in Grimsby.
Liam Boydell, 22, now faces a life sentence after pleading guilty to the charge at a hearing before Hull Crown Court.
Police were called to reports that a man had been hit by a grey Vauxhall Crossland car in Carnforth Crescent, at about 5.20pm on Sunday, May 21.
It was claimed that the car had left the scene.
Reece Braithwaite, 35, was found to have suffered life-threatening
injuries and he was taken to hospital. He died on Wednesday, May 24.
Beareded Boydell, of Boulevard Avenue, Grimsby, appeared in the court's secure dock wearing a grey sweatshirt with a white motif and yellow
stripes down the sleeves.
Defence barrister Peter Moulson KC said that Boydell claimed that he did
not intend to kill Mr Braithwaite. Prosecutor Richard Wright KC said that
if Boydell did not intend to kill Mr Braithwaite, the death was a
"virtual certainty" because of his actions.
Mr Wright added that the prosecution team would be suggesting that the mandatory life sentence for Boydell should have a starting point of 25
years behind bars, before other adjustments were made over the minimum term to be served.
Sentence was adjourned until September and Boydell, who had been in
custody, was further remanded in custody. Judge John Thackray KC told
him: "It will inevitably be life imprisonment. I will decide on the day
the minimum term that you will spend in custody."
The passenger in the vehicle, Thomas McLaughlin, 19, of Rutland Street, Grimsby, was also later arrested after the incident and, at an earlier preliminary hearing, was brought before the court alongside Boydell, accused of murder.
The case was originally adjourned for trial at Grimsby Crown Court on November 13. However, Jeremy Evans, for the prosecution, confirmed that, since then, the case against McLaughlin, as the passenger, has been discontinued. He was not in court for the hearing at which Boydell pleaded guilty.

As you were then.
Let's see Mr Arsehole get him out of that one.

How can it be ‘life imprisonment’ if there is going to be a minimum term?

If the driver did not intend to kill the cyclist, then why did he later
admit to murdering him?

I suppose the odd one is pressured into telling the truth.
