Ferrari-driving kickboxer jailed for death of grandmother

A FERRARI-driving kickboxer who caused the death of an elderly woman in a high-speed Melbourne crash has been jailed.
Suleiman “Sam” Abdulrahim, 26, who has already spent 519 days in custody, was sentenced by the County Court of Victoria today for a minimum of two years’ imprisonment after the fatal accident on June 27, 2015.

Great-grandmother-of-two Muriel Hulett, 88, died in hospital after the accident, having suffered chest injuries, a severed thumb and a fractured right arm.
Her family said that, after the crash, Ms Hulett was in hospital for eight days “in agony” with a fractured neck and could only communicate by tapping her foot. On the day of the crash, Abdulrahim was driving a silver two-door Ferrari Spider along High St at Reservoir, in Melbourne’s north.

He was speeding up to 110km/h in a 60km/h zone when he lost control of the high-powered vehicle, crashing into three cars.
One of the cars was a Mazda driven by Lynette Vernall that also contained her mother Ms Hulett, who had just been out to lunch.

Both women were seriously injured and Ms Hulett was placed in a medically induced coma and later died after being taken off life support.
Abdulrahim, who has been a boxer and martial artist since aged 15 and fought professionally for a number of years, initially fought the charges and continued to offend.

While on bail, police seized methylamphetamine from a motorbike at his home, steroid vials from his bedroom, and $1900 suspected of being the proceeds of crime.
In July 2015, he was stopped for a driving offence and showed police a South Australian driver’s licence.
