Dad who juggled two jobs to raise children fell asleep at the wheel killing Oxford University professor

A divorced dad who juggled two jobs to raise his three children and pay off mortgage debts crashed his car and killed a renowned professor after falling asleep at the wheel.

Simon Westcarr, 51, had finished his nine-and-a-half hour night-shift in a warehouse and was on his 53-mile journey to start his day-shift at a museum when he collided with a car driven by 67-year-old Oxford University Professor Martin Brasier.

Prosecutor Peter Coombe told Oxford Crown Court that Prof Brasier, renowned for his discovery of the oldest microfossil at 3.4 billion years old, was killed in the collision and his wife, Cecilia, suffered serious injuries which required surgery.

Westcarr was jailed for 32 months for causing death by dangerous driving and 16 months for causing serious injury, to run concurrently.

Personal trainer who infected 2 unsuspecting women with HIV jailed for 5 years

Jailed: Simon James has been locked up for five years

A personal fitness trainer who infected two unsuspecting women with HIV has been jailed for five years.

Simon James, 46, did not inform his victims that he was HIV-positive before having sex with them on a number of occasions.

He later admitted he had the virus but insisted the medication he was taking eradicated any risk of the women contracting it.

Bristol Crown Court heard James refused to wear condoms as he claimed he was allergic to them, they were uncomfortable and did not fit him.

James was not taking medication or attending hospital appointments during the time he had unprotected sex with the women, between 2007 and 2013.

He denied two counts of grievous bodily harm by recklessly transmitting HIV but was convicted by a jury following a five-day trial in October.
