Orpington man killed moped rider in deliberate road rage crash

An Orpington man who deliberately drove into a moped rider, killing him in a road rage incident, has been jailed for 13 years. Neil Sullingston, 53, was sentenced on August 1 after being found guilty of manslaughter earlier this week. He drove his car into 36-year-old Wayne Wigley in Esher, Surrey, on the morning of July 1, 2024. Sullingston, of Orpington, was driving to work in his white Seat Ibiza along the A244 when he noticed Mr Wigley riding a moped behind him. The two men had previously been involved in road rage incidents on May 16 and June 5, which Sullingston had reported to police. READ MORE: At around 6.19am on July 1, dashcam and CCTV footage showed Mr Wigley throwing a rock at Sullingston's car, smashing the rear window. Mr Wigley then entered the right filter lane near the junction with Milbourne Lane. Sullingston followed in close pursuit before deliberately driving into the back of the scooter without braking or swerving. The impact threw Mr Wigley from the moped, severing his right lower leg and causing catastrophic internal injuries. Members of the public, including an off-duty police officer, a paramedic and a firefighter tried to help but Mr Wigley was pronounced dead at the scene. Detective Chief Inspector Natalie Pearce, the senior investigating officer, said: 'Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Wayne Wigley following his death in July last year. 'Sadly, on the day in question, the road rage escalated with fatal consequences. Sullingston deliberately drove at Mr Wigley, intending to cause harm, which ultimately resulted in his death. 'His actions that day were inexcusable and unforgivable, and the fact that he has been imprisoned today for 13 years after being found guilty of manslaughter has ensured he has been brought to justice for the loss of another man's life.' Mr Wigley's family said: 'Wayne is dearly missed by his seven children, his mum, dad, partner, sister and all his friends. He was well loved by all and would do anything for anyone. 'He was strong-minded, loyal, generous and funny. A keen fisherman, a skilled banger racer and a gifted car mechanic. 'We would like to thank all our family and friends for their support, which has helped us through the horror of what has happened.'

Minnesota lawmaker shooting suspect pleads not guilty in federal court

Vance Boelter, who is accused of stalking and shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses in June, pleaded not guilty in federal court on Thursday. Boelter's attorney entered the plea on his behalf, according to The Associated Press. Boelter, who faces murder, stalking and firearms charges, spoke very briefly in court, thanking the judge and saying he understood the charges, the AP said.

Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home in Brooklyn Park and shooting and wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their house in nearby Champlin in the early hours of June 14, authorities said. Boelter allegedly showed up to their doors, impersonating a police officer and wearing a realistic-looking latex mask to carry out his "political assassinations," prosecutors said. Investigators recovered a list of about 45 elected officials in notebooks in his car, according to prosecutors. Two other lawmakers were spared the night of the shootings, officials said. One was not home, while a police officer checking the homes of other local politicians scared off Boelter from another location. Boelter's court appearance came as the Minnesota State Capitol on Wednesday implemented new safety measures, including fewer public entrances and an increased security presence. Sen. John Hoffman, who suffered from multiple gunshot wounds, spoke out this week, telling the National Conference of State Legislatures that the shooting "was awful and tragic and will impact me and my family forever," according to MPR News. "But as a Minnesotan and as an American ... we can't let the evil of the night win and we must redouble our efforts and reclaim the reason we are all public servants," Hoffman said. ABC News' Ahmad Hemingway contributed to this report.
