manchestereveningnews.co.ukThis is the mugshot of the ‘selfish’ thug who caused the death of a beloved mum. Marcel Doyle, 47, was jailed yesterday (July 4) for causing death by dangerous driving.
In December last year he stole an Audi A3 from a gated driveway, before leading police on a high speed chase throughout the streets of Royton, Oldham.
