A speeding driver who killed two young brothers in a hit-and-run while high on drugs has had his nine-year jail term increased to 10-and-a-half years by the Court of Appeal.
Robert Brown was banned from driving, travelling at more than twice the speed limit and had taken a cocktail of drugs when he mowed down Corey and Casper Platt-May, aged six and two.
The boys were on their way to a park with their mother Louise Platt-May when they were struck by Brown’s Ford Focus as they crossed MacDonald Road, Coventry, in February.
