A driver has been jailed for life after killing a 15-year-old boy who was riding a stolen e-bike. The court described the collision, in which the vehicle was driven at about 40mph, as an “unlawful act of retribution” rather than an accident, making it a serious case of deliberate violence.

The available article text does not name those involved or provide the location, date or full sentencing details. It indicates that the victim was 15 and riding a stolen e-bike when he was struck, while the driver’s life sentence reflects the court’s assessment of the offence’s gravity.
