Police hunt US-based Ghanaian who killed daughter in car crash
Emmanuel Sakyi, 31, was convicted of killing his daughter in a head-on car crash in Milton Keynes on December 4, 2022. He was twice the legal alcohol limit and on the wrong side of the road when the collision occurred. His seven-month-old daughter, Emmanuela, who was on her mother's lap, died in hospital. Sakyi was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and was sentenced, in his absence, to 15 years in prison on Monday at Aylesbury Crown Court.
Sakyi was driving his grey Peugeot 508 when it struck a green Fiat 500 between the Bond Avenue and Fenny Lock roundabouts. Jurors heard he drove for a "considerable distance on the wrong side of the road" and failed to respond to the oncoming Fiat driver. Sakyi fled the scene on foot but was later arrested outside his home. Emmanuela was pronounced dead at 03:32 GMT on December 5, and a post-mortem revealed she died from "blunt force abdominal trauma." Det Sgt Ed Crofts from Thames Valley Police's serious collision investigation unit appealed for public help, stating, "This is a devastating case where a child's life has been lost."
