Simon Richardson has been convicted of murder after hitting cyclist Michael Mullins with a car and dragging him along the road for more than a mile. A confession made by a passenger in the vehicle helped establish the case against him.
The passenger was Richardson’s cousin. Their account was significant in the proceedings and contributed to Richardson’s conviction over Mullins’s death.
The available material does not provide the date or location of the incident, nor does it give further details about the court case, the circumstances leading to the collision or the sentence imposed. It states that the passenger’s confession was central to the successful prosecution.
Richardson’s conviction follows the fatal incident involving Mullins, who was cycling when he was struck by the car. No further information about the latest legal position is available in the supplied material.
