Overview
- Police say Emmanuel Sakyi was convicted in his absence of causing death by dangerous driving and sentenced to 15 years on June 29 after failing to appear for his trial and sentencing.
- The crash happened on December 4, 2022, when Sakyi drove the wrong way along a dual carriageway in Milton Keynes and collided head-on while more than two-and-a-half times the legal drink‑drive limit.
- Sakyi’s seven-month-old daughter, Emmanuela, suffered fatal injuries after she was not properly secured in an appropriate child seat.
- Officers arrested a 40‑year‑old woman on July 2 on suspicion of assisting an offender; she has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
- Detectives have released a new mugshot, reconstruction footage and images to encourage tips, and they urge the public not to approach Sakyi and to report information to Thames Valley Police or Crimestoppers.
