Sakyi, a resident of Garraways in Milton Keynes, was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison on 29 June. The incident involved Sakyi driving his grey Peugeot 508, which collided with a green Fiat 500 between the Bond Avenue and Fenny Lock roundabouts.
Tragically, Sakyi’s seven-month-old daughter, Emmanuela, who had been sitting on her mother’s lap in the passenger seat, sustained severe injuries and later died in hospital. A post-mortem examination confirmed that Emmanuela died from blunt force abdominal trauma. After the collision, Sakyi fled the scene on foot but was later apprehended by police.
During the course of the trial, jurors were informed that Sakyi had driven a significant distance on the wrong side of the road. Despite efforts by the Fiat’s driver, who flashed her lights and sounded her horn to avoid the crash, Sakyi failed to respond. Meanwhile, Emmanuela’s mother, Ruth Oppong, aged 34, received a prison sentence of one year and nine months, suspended for two years, after being convicted of aiding and abetting causing death by dangerous driving and causing unnecessary suffering to a child.
Detective Inspector Justin Thomas called on the public to help locate Sakyi, emphasizing the importance of community assistance. “I would urge anybody who is assisting him, harbouring him, or helping him evade justice to consider the seriousness of this case and do the right thing,” he said. He added that the police remain determined to ensure justice is served and encouraged anyone with information about Sakyi’s whereabouts to contact Thames Valley Police.
