A motorcyclist has been jailed for just under a year for "needlessly" causing the death of a child while speeding.

Dariusz Adamusiak, 37, of Barham Court, in Wembley, was riding his motorcycle in Harrow Road, Sudbury, at around 5pm on September16 2021 when he collided with a 12-year-old boy.

Young Qusai Alomar, from Wembley, was rushed to hospital where he sadly died three days later.

Speed analysis showed that Adamusiak was riding his Yamaha motorcycle at a speed of at least 39mph just prior to the collision, in a 20mph area, Scotland Yard said.

Adamusiak stopped following the collision and remained at the scene.

Adamusiak pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to causing death by dangerous driving.

He was sentenced at the same court on Friday (April 14), to two years and ten months’ imprisonment, to serve half in custody and the remainder on licence where he will be supervised on probation.

He was also disqualified from driving for a total of four years and five months with a requirement to pass an extended driving test at the conclusion of the disqualification period.

DI John Millward of the Met's transport team said: “This was truly a tragic case where a young boy sadly and needlessly lost his life due to a motorcyclist who ignored the designated speed limit.

"I would like to send my continued condolences to this young boy's family, and thank them for their patience and trust in the investigation.

"I would also like to thank my detectives and colleagues for their professionalism and dedication to seek justice for this grieving family."
