A driver who handed himself in after killing a man in a hit-and-run incident was caught speeding at more than 140mphs only days later.

Farhan Ali, 30, caused the death of Adam Partyka in Osterley after hitting him in the early hours of the morning on February 8 before driving off.

The next day Ali, of Hounslow, handed himself in and was arrested.

Police said that four days after he was charged, Ali was arrested for driving at speeds in excess of 140mph on the M40.

The 30-year-old was jailed at for six and a half years at Isleworth Crown Court on Friday.

He was also handed a four-year extended sentence, disqualified from driving for 10 years with an extended retest. His licence was endorsed and he was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £120.

In March he was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court to 12 months in prison for dangerous driving.

Detective Sergeant Jeff Edwards, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Ali showed complete disregard for the safety of other road users and his recklessness has caused the death of a much loved man who had everything to live for.

"His excess speeding beggars belief and he rightly deserves a custodial sentence for his crime.

“Our thoughts are with the family of Janusz who have behaved with the utmost dignity throughout this investigation."
