Female Member Of Notorious Crime Family Drove While Banned

A female member of a notorious south-east London crime family has been sentenced for driving while banned from the road.

Louise Sonnex, 48, of Battersby Road, Catford also did not have any insurance while behind the wheel of the Fiat 500.

She initially fought the case, but was eventually convicted of driving while disqualified and without insurance in Grove Street, Deptford on October 29, 2020.

Sonnex, who has previously been banned for driving while over three times the drink-drive limit appeared at Woolwich Crown Court because she was in breach of a suspended sentence imposed there in 2019.

Her brother, Dano 'Mad Dog' Sonnex, 34, is serving life imprisonment, with a forty-year minimum, for the gruesome murders of French students Gabriel Ferez, 23, and Laurent Bonomo, 23, who were stabbed a total of 244 times on June 29, 2008.

Her father, Bernard Sonnex, 67, has at least twenty-six convictions, including firearms and drugs, and has been to prison six times and her brother Bernie Sonnex Jnr., 41, has been to prison at least ten times for a minimum of thirty-four offences, including theft and aggravated burglary.

Louise herself has served time for the pub glassing of another woman and beating another woman with a golf club.

Woolwich Crown Court did not activate the suspended prison sentence and instead placed Sonnex on a Community Order requiring her to comply with up to six months of non-residential mental health treatment at St. Andrews Healthcare.

She must also complete up to twenty days of a Probation Service-ordered rehabilitation activity requirement.

Sonnex as also fined £250 and disqualified from driving for twelve months and must pass her driving test before her licence is returned.
