CHIVERSLEIGH GETS THREE YEARS

Barry Chiversleigh, 57, was sentenced to three years in prison, for a drink driving offence which killed his wife and an innocent pedestrian.

The incident happened a year ago, close to Chiversleigh’s home on Leeds Road Estate. He had been drinking heavily at a Christmas party, and lost control of his Vauxhall Astra. Attempting to swerve to avoid Virginia Serck, he instead struck her a glancing blow, and knocked her down. Mrs Serck died of head injuries. With the car still out of control, Chiversleigh spun across the road and hit a street lamp head on. His wife, Jean, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown forward, her forehead stuck the windscreen, breaking her neck.

After entering a guilty plea on behalf of Chiversleigh, his defence counsel pleaded mitigation, saying that since the incident, Chiversleigh had sought help with his alcoholism and still suffered nightmares at what had happened.
