Rapper Ghetts Pleads Guilty to Causing Death by Dangerous Driving

Sentencing will follow his admission to causing the crash that killed 20-year-old Yubin Tamang.

Overview

  • The 41-year-old, real name Justin Clarke-Samuel, admitted causing the October 18 collision in Ilford that fatally injured 20-year-old Yubin Tamang.
  • He also pleaded guilty to a separate count of dangerous driving earlier that evening on Tavistock Place and surrounding streets in Camden.
  • The crash occurred on Redbridge Lane at about 11:33 p.m., and Tamang died in hospital two days later, according to prosecutors.
  • Clarke-Samuel has been held in custody since late October and was remanded by Judge Nigel Lickley KC during a November hearing.
  • Prosecutors initially brought one charge, then added two dangerous-driving counts before today’s hearing, and sentencing will be set at a later date.
