Mum claims death in speed case

A woman tried to dodge a speeding conviction by claiming she had died in a car crash.

Glenda Askew, 47, of Clase, Swansea, south Wales, sent a letter to the Crown Prosecution Service claiming she was dead.

The letter was purportedly sent to the CPS by Askew’s daughter after Askew had been accused of breaking the speed limit.

A spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed it had received such a letter claiming Askew was dead.

Her case was adjourned for sentencing for at least three weeks pending the completion of reports.
