Woman gets 9 years for killing couple while DUI

Story here. Excerpt:

'A drunk businesswoman who killed a young couple while speeding 'grotesquely' at 113mph in a £50,000 Jaguar on her way home from the races has been jailed for nine years.

Mary Butres, 47, lost control of the car after she hit standing water and careered into Mark Compton, 20, and his 19-year-old girlfriend Jodie Brown, who were walking away from their car after it had broken down.

The helpless couple were hit with such force they were hurled onto the opposite carriageway and killed instantly.
...
Today Butres, of Stamford, Lincolnshire, showed no emotion as she was jailed and given a seven-year driving ban for two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.'
