Leeds jury convicts Jasskamal Riyat of causing deaths by dangerous driving
Jasskamal Riyat was found guilty at Leeds Crown Court for his role in a 2023 street race. The incident resulted in the deaths of a woman and her four-year-old daughter. Prosecutors argued Riyat participated in a high-speed race reaching 90mph before another vehicle struck the victims. Although Riyat denied racing the other motorist, the jury returned a guilty verdict. This followed a trial that faced delays due to illness. Witnesses described seeing the vehicles racing through the streets prior to the fatal collision. The conviction concludes a legal process that began when charges were first brought in 2023. Riyat now faces sentencing for causing the deaths of the mother and child through his dangerous conduct.
