Cadman’s brother, Donaven Gurriah, said their family welcomed the outcome of the case and hoped the sentence would send out a strong warning to other road users to think twice before driving under the influence of alcohol.
“Although this will not bring my brother back, we now have some closure and justice has finally prevailed. We hope that motorists will try to be more responsible and the outcome of this case will deter them from drinking and driving, endangering other road users in the future,” he added.
