A driver has been convicted of murdering two e-bike riders after ramming them with his truck in the mistaken belief they had tried to break into his home.
Alex Rose, 30, deliberately crashed into William Birchard, 21, and Darren George, 22, while driving the wrong way down a motorway slip road as he thought the victims had attempted to steal from him.
Earlier that night, Rose, 30, was at his home in Sunbury, Surrey when he saw 'movement in the darkness' and believed someone was trying to burgle his property at 11.40pm on July 21 last year.
Furious, the landscape gardener called his friend Charles Pardoe, 25, and together they went looking for the culprits.
The pair had been searching the local area for an hour in the darkness when they spotted the two innocent victims who had gone out to meet a friend at a pub on an e-bike.
