A professional jockey from Dubai who caused a car crash that killed a three-year-old boy on a road near Newmarket in October 2010 has been jailed for two years.

Thirty-one-year-old Ahmed Aldubaili got confused while driving his friend's Jaguar and ended up driving on the right-hand side of the road before having a head-on collision with Martin Blacklock's Renault Clio, instantly killing his son Henry.

Mr Blacklock was seriously injured in the incident on the B1063 in Ashley, near Newmarket.

As well as jailing Aldubaili for 24 months, Judge Anthony Bate also banned him from driving for three years.

The jockey, formerly of Centre Drive in Newmarket, will be deported once he has served his sentence.

What do you think to the punishment? Is it long enough? Have your say here...
