Wolverhampton Crown Court heard Sullaiman Khan had reached speeds of more than 90mph in the 40mph limit, before his Audi hit the BMW.

“Since the boys passed away I can only hold on to the memories and look at photos and their videos to feel their precious times we had together. “Sanjay and Pawanveer had their own strong bond and relationship between them which was magical. “Sanjay would sing songs and nursery rhymes to his younger brother and I would hear the laughter and fun that the boys had between them and both constantly wanted mine and dad’s attention.”

Mrs Nahar, who was seriously injured in the crash, added: “My house, my life and I died on 14 March, 2019.”
