A drunk BMW driver struck and killed a 77-year-old man after consuming nearly 10 litres of rum during a four-day spree.

Tom Ferguson was a guest at the Premier Inn hotel in Stockport, Manchester, where personnel requested him to depart due to his intoxicated state.

Nine empty Captain Morgan’s rum bottles were located by hotel employees in his room, and a half-empty bottle was found on him at the time of his arrest.

CCTV footage shows 29-year-old Ferguson struggle to get into his white BMW 1 Series before driving off.

Just moments later, while Robert Palmer and his spouse were headed back to their vehicle after an appointment at the hospital, an incident occurred. Ferguson, who suddenly mounted the pavement, impacted the dear husband.

Ferguson, who does not possess a permanent address, received a prison sentence for 12 years at Minshull Street Crown Court on Friday, which was the 8th of March.
