British rapper Ghetts was jailed for 12 years on Tuesday for killing a Nepali student in a hit-and-run while driving dangerously and over the drink-drive limit. Clarke-Samuel, 41, also admitted an additional charge of driving his BMW M5 dangerously before the fatal incident. Ghetts was nominated for the 2024 Mercury Prize for his fourth studio album On Purpose, With Purpose and won best male act at Britain's MOBO Awards in 2021. Tamang's mother Sharmila Tamang tearfully read a statement to the court through a translator, which said: "My son had come to this place to study. I cannot express the enormous feeling of guilt and shame I feel for the suffering I have caused."
