Man convicted of murder after mowing down Liam Hendry
A MAN who deliberately mowed down teenager Liam Hendry has been convicted of murder.
Dean Wright had taken alcohol and cocaine when he ploughed into the 18-year-old, sending him flying into the windscreen and leaving him with "catastrophic" head injuries.
Liam's parents wept and held one another as the verdict was delivered and Judge Lord Arthurson praised them for their "quiet dignity" throughout the trial.
The judge told Wright: “You inflicted on Liam Hendry catastrophic and unsurvivable head injuries.
"This was a deliberate, unprovoked and murderous attack.”
Lord Arthurson told Wright the only sentence for murder was life imprisonment.
