    Met Police officer admits killing moped rider after driving through red light

    Met Police officer admits killing moped rider after driving through red light

    A Metropolitan Police officer has admitted causing death by careless driving after knocking a rider off his moped.

    Constable Ian Brotherton was driving at 47mph in a 30mph zone in Enfield, north London, in October 2023 as he responded to an emergency call with the car’s lights and sirens on.

    He drove through a red light in Southbury Road and collided with 26-year-old moped rider Cristopher De Carvalho Guedes, who was turning right into Baird Road.

    Cristopher was taken to hospital, but he died the next day.

    Brotherton was charged after an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

    Appearing at the Old Bailey, he denied causing death by dangerous driving but admitted the lesser alternative of causing death by careless driving.

    The prosecution accepted the guilty plea, saying the victim’s family, who live in Brazil, had been consulted.

    Judge Nigel Lickley KC adjourned the Old Bailey sentencing until 2pm on February 27 and said it would be heard before the Recorder of London.

    He granted Brotherton, from east Hertfordshire, continued bail but imposed an interim driving ban.

    The judge told him: ‘The fact I am adjourning your sentence to another day and continuing your bail must not be seen as indicating any particular sentencing options.

    ‘All sentencing options, including immediate custody, remain available.

    ‘From this day you are disqualified from driving until further order.’
