Simon Richardson, 35, has been found guilty of murder following the death of cyclist Michael Mullins, 56, in a collision in Altrincham.
Simon Richardson, 35, of Sale, has been found guilty of murder following the death of Michael Mullins, a 56-year-old head teacher and cyclist. A jury deliberated for 10 hours and 55 minutes after two weeks of evidence before reaching their verdict following Richardson's conviction.
On 20 April, Richardson was driving his black Volvo XC90 with his cousin Gabrielle Debotte, who had left work early feeling unwell. Richardson had collected her from her home in Altrincham at around 5pm to take her to Lymm. Dash cam footage showed Richardson driving 'erratically' and in excess of the speed limit on Dunham Road as the vehicle made its way to Lymm.
At 6.07pm, the Volvo collided with Mullins at the junction of Paddock Lane. Mullins was propelled onto the windscreen before becoming trapped under the front left side of the vehicle. The car did not stop at the scene.
