Teen admits mowing down woman and killing her dog in horrific hit-and-run caught on camera

A TEENAGER has admitted in court to mowing down a woman and killing her dog in a horrific hit-and-run that was caught on camera.

Kallum Aish, 18, was driving a Renault Clio when he lost control and hit Patricia Faulkner and her pet Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Millie, in Great Barr, Birmigham.


Yesterday, he pleaded guilty to six offences at Birmingham Magistrate's Court.

The offences include; causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road accident, being uninsured, unlicensed, possession of cannabis and 'criminal damage' in relation to the death of the dog.

But the defendant denied that he was "racing" another motorist.

The case was forwarded to Birmingham Crown Court where Kallum will be sentenced next month.

He was granted unconditional bail and was told to attend Birmingham Crown Court on February 25.

After his guilty plea, West Midlands Police re-shared the shocking footage on Twitter with the hashtag #Guilty, along with the details in the case.

On a post shared by Birmingham Live on Facebook covering the case, users vented their anger towards Kallum and their hopes of tough sentencing for him.

William Farquharson said: "Feel so angry and sad for that lady, just out walking her dog, then this useless waster thinks it's ok to drive like a maniac run her over and kill her dog. I hope they throw the book at him, but probably won't happen."

Sheena Gilbert added: "Utter disgrace. Justice not been served there".

And Susan Green said: "So angry, calling the death of her dog criminal damage!!!! Living breathing part of the family."

The horrific scenes of the incident last July, show Ms Faulkener walking along the side of the road in Great Barr with her Terrier Millie before a black Renault Clio slams into her, causing her to hurtle into a nearby bush.

While this is happening, an Vauxhall Astra is seen screeching to a halt further up the road.

A man and woman can then be seen emerging from the bush – later followed by a man in a tracksuit.

The footage shows them running up the road to the waiting Astra before cutting out.
