Impassioned plea by 'utterly bereft' widower whose wife was killed in front of their toddler son by 85-year-old who mistook accelerator for brake- but he says he DIDN'T want to see the driver jailed


Ben Brooks-Dutton said he has been left 'utterly bereft' by the loss of his wife Desreen (pictured together, right), who was killed in front of their son, Jackson (left) in 2012 by pensioner Geoffrey Lederman in Hampstead, north west London. Lederman (inset) was jailed this week for 18 months for mistaking the accelerator of his 1950s Mercedes for its brake. But in a moving plea to families concerned their elderly relatives may not be fit enough to drive, the 35-year-old has begged them to share his story. Here, the MailOnline publishes Mr Brooks-Dutton request, Tell Them.
