IN FULL: Rapper Ghetts jailed over fatal hit-and-run

Описание: Rapper Ghetts was jailed for 12 years for killing a student in a hit-and-run collision.

The 41-year-old, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, was sentenced at the Old Bailey after he previously admitted causing the death of 20-year-old Yubin Tamang by dangerous driving.

Tamang, a university student from Nepal, died in hospital two days after being struck by Clarke-Samuel's car on Redbridge Lane East, Ilford, in October 2025.

Clarke-Samuel had been driving at more than 60mph in a 30mph zone when his BMW M5 hit Tamang as he crossed the road. He failed to stop at the scene.

The Recorder of London, Judge Mark Lucraft KC, also disqualified Clarke-Samuel, who also admitted a charge of dangerous driving relating to the hours before the fatal crash, from driving for 17 years.

He said CCTV footage showed a "quite appalling litany of incidents" leading up to the fatal collision which were "simply shocking".
