Man found in hotel bed with woman days after he killed driver in 113mph M62 smash

A teenage tearaway who dealt drugs and kept guns turned killer driver after smashing into another car at 113mph while high on laughing gas.

Shaun Tinsley, 28, was jailed yesterday (Wednesday) after crashing into Paul Loller's vehicle 'like a missile' on the M62 near Warrington. He then careered into the central reservation and fled on foot, leaving the innocent 61-year-old dying at the scene.

Merseyside Police recovered a silver revolver loaded with one run and a 9mm Luger pistol with a number of rounds inside, as well as an additional three live rounds and one spent round. Tinsley was jailed for six
