Mother blasts death sentence threat
Newlyweds Jonathan and Emma Gray, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, were killed when the machine crashed into a tree just a few days into their honeymoon in August last year.
Mr Gray’s mother Cath Davies said she had been told by police quad bike driver Filip Petre, 23, faced a maximum penalty of death or a 25-year prison sentence.

She told BBC Look North: “It’s barbaric.
