A WOMAN is due to return to court over the death of a Stroud mobility scooter user.
Kimberley Ann Hawkins, aged 41, admitted killing Neil Shadwick after taking his mobility scooter outside the Tesco Superstore in Stratford Road, on January 22 last year.
Hawkins, of no fixed address, is due to be sentenced at Gloucester Crown Court on Thursday, August 29.
Mr Shadwick, 63, who used his mobility scooter as his mode of transport, was left behind in sub-zero temperatures and found unresponsive in the supermarket car park at 6am.
He later died in hospital.
Gloucestershire Police said Hawkins rode away on the scooter, later dumping it on Bisley Old Road in Stroud, where it was found by a member of the public at about 8am.
Hawkins previously admitted charges of aggravated vehicle taking, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, in relation to Mr Shadwick’s death at Gloucester Crown Court in April.
She later pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Bristol Crown Court in June.
