Rapper Ghetts charged after man killed in hit-and-run | UK News
The rapper Ghetts has been charged after a man was killed in a hit-and-run in northeast London.
The musician, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, was charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He allegedly failed to stop after hitting a 20-year-old man in Ilford last Saturday, the Met Police said.
The 41-year-old appeared at Stratford Magistrates’ Court on Monday – the same day the man died in hospital.
The indictment is expected to change from causing serious injury to causing death by dangerous driving at the next hearing.
Ghetts was remanded into custody and is due to appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on 27 October.
The police are appealing for witnesses to the crash to come forward.
