A homeless drug addict who assaulted an elderly Parkinson's sufferer, robbed him of his mobility scooter and left him to die in sub-zero temperatures has been jailed.
The 41-year-old pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Neil Shadwick, 63, in June following his death in Stroud, Gloucestershire last year Shadwick was found less than a mile away from the cashpoint on the Sunday morning, while the scooter was found abandoned by a member of the public on Bisley Old Road over a mile away.
Hawkins previously admitted charges of aggravated vehicle taking, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, in relation to the incident, in April 2023. In a victim impact statement, Mr Shadwick's daughter Mrs Bentley said: 'Kimberley Hawkins knew by leaving Dad in that car park, on a freezing cold night, that she was leaving an incredibly vulnerable man who had no way of communicating as he could barely talk.
'He must have been in so much pain. Neil didn't deserve to be treated and abandoned in such a way. I am so proud of the clues he gave the police.'
