Solicitor tells jury he did not cover up brother's role in crash that killed two young brothers
A solicitor has denied conspiring to 'cover up' his brother's role in a fatal crash that left two children dead.
Mohammed Adil Khan, aged 35, told the jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court that he had arranged for another lawyer to advise his sibling Mohammed Sullaiman Khan and told him to return to the crash scene.
The case relates to the deaths of young brothers Pawanveer Singh, aged 23 months, and Sanjay, aged 10, who were in the family's BMW when it was struck by an Audi driven by Sullaiman Khan on A4123 Birmingham New Road in Wolverhampton March 2019.
Sullaiman Khan, aged 27, who fled the scene, previously admitted causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving to the children’s mother Arathi Nehar and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
