The heartbroken twin sister of a motorcyclist who was killed by a cocaine fuelled driver has hit out at his killer’s sentence .
Allan Nicholson’s sister Pamela said her family is ‘enraged’ that her 'baby brother's life was only worth the six years' in prison handed to William McLean.
McLean was sentenced today after being convicted of causing the death of the 24-year-old student in a head-on crash as he drove the wrong way on the East Kilbride Expressway on November 10 last year.
He says he took five lines of cocaine before setting off on the journey.
As McLean appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh today for sentencing, a judge said he had “no hesitation” in assessing his culpability at the most serious level.
But Allan's heartbroken family slammed the six year sentence on social media.
Pamela wrote on Facebook: "How is the life of my beautiful, baby brother, worth six years?
"His defence was 'his family life is now disrupted' and the guilty is described as a 'broken man.'
"ARE YOU F****** SERIOUS?
"This judge needs to spend five minutes in a room with my father.
"He’ll then know the true definition of a 'broken man' and he’ll soon find out what a 'disrupted family' looks like.
"ENRAGED."
A petition has been created in response to McLean's sentencing and the fact he was released on bail shortly after the horror crash.
So far, almost 4,500 people have signed the petition.
The page was created by False Gods MCC on Facebook who wrote: "The guy who killed Allan got handed six years.
"Absolutely disgusted.
"If you actually want to try and make sure this doesn’t happen again then sign this petition, and write to your local MSP telling them this isn’t good enough and you want some changes made."
The petition can be found here .
