A man who caused the death of a woman in a high-speed crash has been jailed. 

Jack Cracknell, 22, was driving with four other passengers in his car in the early hours of the morning on 3 December 2022. 

Cracknell, of Faversham, Kent, reached speeds of 117mph as he drove along the New Dover Road in Canterbury, a road with a 40mph speed limit. 

As he approached a roundabout near the New Gate Inn pub, he hit a kerb, causing car to go into the air and roll over, before colliding with the pub building. 

The father and stepmother of a 10-year-old girl whose body was discovered in her bed after the family had fled to Pakistan have today been jailed for her murder.

A jury found Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool guilty of murdering Sara Sharif following a ten-week trial where they heard Sara was subjected to a “campaign of abuse”. Today at the Central Criminal Court, both Sharif and Batool were sentenced to life imprisonment, to serve minimum terms of 40 years and 33 years in prison, respectively.
