VW Golf driver, 20, inhaled laughing gas behind wheel and killed elderly cyclist in hit and run then took drug AGAIN while fleeing
A driver who breathed a smiling gas before killing an old cyclist during a pedestrian crossing has been locked for more than 11 years.
20 -year -old Cain Byrne, who never received a driver’s license, reapped 81 -year -old Graham Slinn at 80Mph after ignoring a red light.
A former builder, retired, was thrown into the air by Byrne’s Volkswagen Golfü at least 15FT and steals his bike along the A57 near Todwick, South Yorkshire.
CCTV showed that Byrne breathed nitrogen oxide from a yellow balloon during driving – including moments before and after the deadly collision on April 4.
Sheffield Crown Court heard that he did not attempt to stop after he hit his bike and hit the passing of the road.
Derbyshire, byrne from Chesterfield, Dashcam images showed that he smokes on his tires while trying to control the car.
Mr. Slinn, who helped look at learning adults after retirement, was only weeks to celebrate his 60th wedding anniversary with his wife Jacqueline.
Judge Jeremy Richardson, who sentenced Byrne to 11 years and six months in prison at a young criminal institution, said that the inhalation of nitrogen oxide during driving was a ‘extremely dangerous action’.
Cain Byrne was caught in CCTV as a nitrogen oxide fading behind the wheel before killing a pensioner in a transition and then behind the wheel.

Cain had no license, but there was no list of repulsive convictions
CCTV and Dashcam images showed that it accelerated it from the stage
“You are a dangerous criminal and the people should be protected from your distinctive dangerous and rooted criminal behavior,” he said.
Mr. Slinn said that he died of injuries by the ‘really horrifying driving’ of Byrne, ‘the path is completely legally legally under the green light for him’.
The judge said in his life that Byrne had ‘endured a terrible training’ and ‘very little boundaries’.
Byrne, who confessed that it caused death with dangerous driving and other crimes, had 27 convictions, including dangerous driving, despite the lack of a license.
He would be sentenced last month, but the judge ordered a supervised freedom report after hearing the ‘surprising and terrible’ record.
Rebecca Stephens claimed that Byrne only cropped another vehicle with a wing mirror and believed that she was panicked.
An image shown in the court caught Byrne and released the gas many times during his driving.
Driving for 17 years and eight months has been banned and a long five -year license period.
Mr. Slinn’s widow’s wife, Jacqueline, said to a previous hearing: ‘Sixty -year marriage was destroyed by the defendant.’
He said that they met a shared bicycle love and that her husband driving her bike several times a week and she sang in the bars and clubs around Sheffield.
After the prisoner, his children Nicola and Victor described him as ‘gentle to the kernel’ and said his death was ‘100% prevented’.
“ “ April 4 in the afternoon of our father began his bike – since his youth, when he competed, something he loves, ” they said.
‘Although every possible measures to stay safe – dismantling at the end of the bicycle path, waiting for the green changes to the green change for pedestrians and on the pedestrian crossing – the day he died, he was quickly shot by a car driven by someone who was not there, as if he wasn’t there.
But it was there. It was everything for us. He was our father, our mother’s 60 -year -old husband, the grandfather of two young girls and many friends. ‘
In a statement published by his lawyers of Thompsons, family death ‘has left a deep silence in the heart of their homes’, he said.
They said, ‘Losing someone who is loved is a shock’. ‘But it is twice the cruel to know that one is so vibrant, very active and 100% prevented deaths.’
