no, but it was an englishman of about 60 years whom i know well, and who happens to be genuinely knowledgeable about indo-european history & cultures

Wayne Payne, 31, (inset) was travelling at 61mph when he hit Cameron Ward (main picture), who was riding his bicycle alongside his parents in Erdington, Birmingham on April 1 last year. Unemployed Payne was sentenced to five years in prison and banned from driving for five years. A judge had bailed the killer driver over the weekend on 'compassionate grounds' so he could see his two young daughters before being jailed. But just minutes later Payne, of Erdington, argued with Cameron's grieving relatives outside court.
