Parents mourn son Kieron Fevrier as killer driver high on coke is jailed

The family of a young motorcycle display team instructor killed in east London by a driver high on cocaine said his actions had “torn them apart”, after he was jailed for seven years.

Gerald Cotter, 49, was driving and overtaking “in a crazy way” when he killed 23-year-old Kieron Fevrier, Judge Stephen Kramer QC said at the Old Bailey.

Cotter sped along Orient Way in Leyton at up to 53mph in a 30mph zone and forced another driver to brake sharply.

Mr Fevrier slammed into the back of the car.

The motorcyclist, an instructor for Newham-based display team the Imps, suffered fatal head injuries and died at the scene on November 30 last year.

His parents John and Nicki said: “The careless stupid actions of one man have torn a family apart.”

Mr Fevrier’s family is raising money for his motorcycle display team.
