Kimberley Ann Hawkins, 41, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Neil Shadwick, 63, in Gloucestershire, England, following the incident in January 2023.
Mr Shadwick was found unresponsive in a Tesco car park on Stratford Road in Stroud on 22 January, when the Met Office had forecast temperatures as low as -6°C overnight. CCTV footage showed Hawkins and Mr Shadwick, who had severe Parkinson’s, arriving at the supermarket at about 02:30 GMT to use the cash machine.
When Mr Shadwick appeared unable to withdraw money for Hawkins, she became "frustrated" and took his mobility scooter while he was still partially on it. She dragged him along the road for just under a minute before he eventually let go, then she rode away, leaving him on the ground. He was found by supermarket staff who arrived for work at about 05:45 GMT.
Mr Shadwick had severe hypothermia, pneumonia and lung injuries. In the ambulance, all he was able to say was "robbed" and "Kim". He later died in hospital.
In a statement, his daughter, Mrs Bentley, said it was "horrific" to identify her dad "under such terrible circumstances".
"Kimberley Hawkins knew by leaving Dad in that car park, on a freezing cold night, that she was leaving an incredibly vulnerable man who had no way of communicating as he could barely talk," Mrs Bentley said. "He didn't have a phone and he had no way of getting any help. He must have been terrified realising that he'd been abandoned and not knowing when or if help would arrive."
The court heard the pair had gone to the cashpoint after Hawkins provided "sexual services" for Mr Shadwick.
Nahida's teaser trailer is an excellent use of the medium. So much of it is carried by the constantly changing art style. But even moreso, it's carried by the VA. What a huge flex of Kimberley Anne Campbell's acting chops.

I'd say her talents as a VA are wasted on the child Archon except that HYV somehow made Nahida a compelling character, something I was not expecting pre-3.0.
