David Brown, aged 59, sent"distressing" messages to Dylan Price's mother and stepfather, first claiming he was responsible for the young man's death, before later saying it was another man he knew.
Brown, who had not told his own family what he had done before he appeared in court, first messaged Steve Bristow, Dylan's stepfather, under the pseudonym"John Thomas". However Brown continued a back and forth, making false claims over a fight in a pub, before suggesting somebody else was driving, and they had moved Dylan's body from the side of the road., Louise Bristow, got in touch with Brown's"John Thomas" Facebook account, pleading for him to tell her who he was.
Sara Beddows, prosecuting, said:"The messages were clearly false, but gave them false hope," and further upset was caused by fabricated suggestions the driver may have driven over Dylan's body deliberately.In a victim impact statement, Mrs Bristow said the family have had a"horrendous couple of years", and didn't understand"how someone could play with our emotions like that".
He deserves a custodial sentence. Hopefully a lengthy one
Vile lizard.
'Self medicating with alcohol and speed' What a delightful individual this poor excuse for a man is.... So pleased it's gone to Crown Court and hopefully he will be sentenced to spend sometime at 'His Majesty's' pleasure. 🙏
