He was driving on the wrong side of the B1083 when he struck the car being driven by 20-year-old Laureen Hammond, who was on her way to work at a seniors&#8217; home. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It never ceases to amaze me that people like this exist. They shouldn&#8217;t, but they do.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">The impact tore the side off of the car and the young woman was thrown to the road, even though she had been wearing a seatbelt. The car then burst into flames. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Burdakay, who is 19,&#160;has been sentenced to 12 years in a young offenders institution. But when he committed this act, he was:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>in breach of court bail<\/li>\n<li>in breach of a curfew<\/li>\n<li>took the vehicle without permission<\/li>\n<li>was 1\u00bd times the legal drink-drive limit<\/li>\n<li>didn&#8217;t stop<\/li>\n<li>hit another vehicle<\/li>\n<li>admitted attempted robbery at a fish shop earlier this year whilst wearing a balaclava and wielding a meat cleaver<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Se what I mean about not being able to make it up? And you can bet he&#8217;ll be out in&#160;a few years, ready to push his pathetic existence to new lows.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Laureen Hammond is gone forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, you read a report that you just couldn&#8217;t make up.
