A hit-and-run unlicensed driver, who set fire to his car after killing a 14 year-old girl, was yesterday told he would be going to prison after finally admitting the crime.
In a dramatic change of plea Steven Saunders, 22, of Gardeners Close, Motingham admitted causing the death of Alessia Boschiazzo (pictured) by dangerous driving in Moreland Road, Croydon on February 25, last year.
The Carshalton teenager, a pupil at Ursuline High School, died a week later of the injuries caused by Saunders' Renault Clio.
Saunders also pleaded guilty at Croydon Crown Court to causing death by driving while unlicenced and uninsured and perverting the course of justice.
The Recorder of Croydon Warwick McKinnon remanded Saunders in custody until April 26 telling him: "A custodial sentence is unavoidable. It is just a case of doing justice as best I can."
