She said: &#8220;Sartaj was 26-years-old. He was highly thought of and well respected, by not only his friends and family, but the larger community in the Lye area. I was very proud of my son and he will be missed forever and a day.&#8221; <\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u3000<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>DI Warren Hines said: &#8220;This was a terrible incident which had catastrophic consequences for the victim Sartaj Aziz and those unfortunate enough to witness events as they unfolded. I hope that the early guilty plea entered by Fitzpatrick and today&#8217;s sentence will provide some small comfort to Sartaj&#8217;s family and they are able to begin the slow process of moving on. That a young man with everything that life holds ahead of him has been killed as a result of a disagreement is truly tragic. <\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<\/span>&#13;\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sartaj Aziz killed after being hit by a lorry &#13; &#13; &#13; A Brierley Hill man has been sentenced to five years in prison today (Wednesday 18 December) after he admitted chasing a man, who then ran into a road and got killed after being struck by a lorry. &#13; \u3000 &#13; Self-employed Garret Fitzpatrick [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11753,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
