New photo Drug driver jailed for killing two young boys dies in prison

Robert Brown, pictured, 53, has been found dead in prison months after starting a 10-and-a-half year jail term for causing the deaths of two young boys in Coventry in a hit-and-run crash

Drug-driver Robert Brown who was jailed for 10-and-a-half years for killing two young boys in a hit-and-run crash in Coventry has died in prison.   

Brown was sentenced in April for mowing down Corey and Casper Platt-May, aged six and two, in Coventry in February.

He had his jail term increased from nine years to 10 and a half by the Court of Appeal in July.

A spokesman for Serco, which manages the prison, said: 'We can confirm a prisoner died yesterday (Christmas Day) at HMP Dovegate, and, as is normal, the death will be subject to a coroner's investigation.'

Brown, 53, and Gwendoline Harrison, 41, admitted causing the deaths of brothers Corey and Casper Platt-May, aged six and two, at Warwick Crown Court in March, a month after the collision.

He pleaded guilty to causing their deaths by dangerous driving while Harrison admitted assault with intent to resist arrest after attacking police.

The boys were out on a half-term trip to the park with their mother, Louise, and their aunts and cousins when the tragedy unfolded.

The family suffered another blow when the boys' father Reece Platt-May, 30, was found hanged at a Greek hotel while on holiday in May.

An inquest has been opened into his death, which Greek officials say was not suspicious, and it will be resumed at a later date. 

Brown, of Wyken, Warwickshire, had 30 previous convictions for driving offences.

He was only released from a prison a week before the crash, after being jailed for having an offensive weapon.

Brown had never had a driving licence and was banned from driving at the time of the crash.

He had taken cocaine, diazepam and zopiclone and was driving his Ford Focus at more than 60mph in a 30mph zone on February 22 when he ploughed into the brothers. 

His sentence was originally nine years but it was increased on appeal in July.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
