Woman Who Killed Friend in Rented Lamborghini Crash Fails to Turn up at Court
Judge Ray Singh said Humaira Batool was avoiding sentence after a jury convicted her over the 143mph crash that killed Mohammed Shaan Hussain.
On Monday, Leeds Crown Court issued a warrant for Humaira Batool after the 26-year-old failed to attend her sentencing hearing for causing death by dangerous driving; police arrested her at a hospital.
Batool was convicted of causing the death of 20-year-old Mohammed Shaan Hussain in December 2022 when their rented £220,000 Lamborghini Urus crashed on the M62 near Ripponden, overturned, and burst into flames.
Prosecutor Christopher Dunn labeled Batool's claimed endometriosis flare-up 'clearly a ruse' to avoid sentencing, while Judge Ray Singh stated the case represented her 'avoiding being dealt with by way of sentence.'
The court sentenced Batool to 10 years in prison, disqualified her from driving for 10 years, and required her to pass an extended driving test before license reinstatement.
Det Insp Paul Conroy emphasized that operating powerful vehicles demands responsibility, while Hussain's mother Nasreen Akhtar described her son as a 'beloved son and cherished brother, a loyal friend and light in all our lives.
