This was the moment a woman rides off in a mobility scooter - after she robbed it from a disabled man and left him to die.

Kimberley Ann Hawkins, 41, stole the scooter from Neil Shadwick, 63, and left him abandoned in the street in sub-zero temperatures.

She was yesterday (Thurs) jailed for six years after previously pleading guilty to manslaughter.

Gloucester Crown Court heard how Mr Shadwick was left for three hours in the cold and was suffering from severe hypothermia by the time he was discovered at around 5.45am on 22 January last year.

He died in hospital later that day from pneumonia.
