The incident took place near Buckingham Palace

Hassan Nasser Al-Thani, 41, killed 66-year-old Charles Roberts while behind the wheel of a purple Rolls-Royce Wraith

Al-Thani had called 999 and told police at the scene that he had not seen the pedestrian, having moved off when traffic lights had turned green.Having been stopped at traffic lights, the defendant had accelerated away at speeds of up to 54 mph before braking as he approached the victim, the court heard.Later in a prepared statement, he expressed sadness at the death and offered his condolences to Mr Roberts’ family and friends.

He continued: ‘You were to tell the police – clearly incorrectly – that you had moved off slowly from the lights when suddenly and without warning someone ran out in front of your car. The evidence tells a very different story.
