The 41-year-old, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, was sentenced at the Old Bailey after he previously admitted causing the death of 20-year-old Yubin Tamang by dangerous driving. Tamang, a university student from Nepal, died in hospital two days after being struck by Clarke-Samuel’s car on Redbridge Lane East, Ilford, on the evening of 18 October 2025. The court heard that Clarke-Samuel had been driving at more than 60mph in a 30mph zone when his BMW M5 hit Tamang as he crossed the road. He failed to stop at the scene. Judge Mark Lucraft KC also disqualified Clarke-Samuel from driving for 17 years.
