Two men have been sentenced for their part in a fatal city centre collision which killed father of three Jonilal Manjhu.
Kulwant Singh Rai, 48, and Gurdip Rai, 35, of Brinsmead Road, Knighton, both appeared at Leicester Crown Court last Friday and were sentenced to four years and six months in prison each.
The pair were also banned from driving for 10 years.
The collision happened in Welford Road in the early hours of Sunday, June 15, 2014.
Kulwant Rai was driving his BMW 1 Series and Gurdip Rai was driving a Ford Focus, in which 39-year-old Jonilal Manjhu was a passenger.
Jonilal died in hospital after the vehicle he was travelling in left the road and hit a tree.
Both defendants were driving at excessive speed in a 30mph zone, with one eyewitness reporting that the cars had been racing.
Gurdip Rai was one-and-a-half times over the drink drive limit and suffered serious leg injuries which resulted in one of his lower legs being amputated.
During a trial in June, Kulwant Rai was found guilty of death by dangerous driving.
Gurdip Rai pleaded guilty to death by dangerous driving at a hearing in 2015.
Detective Sergeant Mark Partridge, of the regional serious collision investigation unit, said: "This incident has devastated many lives.
"Jonilal was a father of three young children when he lost his life in these very tragic circumstances.
"We hope that if anything is to come from this case it'll be that others will think before they decide to drive at excessive speeds.
"You are not only putting your life at risk but also the lives of other road users."
