A father and son have appeared in court following the death of a woman after a police pursuit in Norfolk.
Marcin Jablonski, 43, and his son, Thomas Urbaniak, 26, have both been charged following a fatal crash involving a £90,000 Land Rover Defender - which was being pursued by police at the time - and a Nissan Juke on the A143, near Old Harletson Road, Earsham.
The female occupant of the Nissan vehicle, understood to be Aisatou Mballow-Baldeu, a woman in her 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene following the crash shortly after 4.30pm on Sunday (August 13).
The men in the Land Rover were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and questioned by police after being treated for injuries they had received.
Both men have subsequently been charged and appeared at Norwich Magistrates Court today (Thursday, August 17).
Jablonski, of Mutfordwood Lane, Carlton Colville, near Lowestoft, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while driving with no insurance and while driving while disqualified.
He has also been charged with aggravated vehicle taking of the £90,000 Land Rover at Newmarket on Friday, August 11 and criminal damage, namely to £6,000 worth of crops.
Urbaniak, from Newmarket, has been charged with aggravated vehicle taking.
Both men spoke to confirm their details when they appeared before magistrates in custody in separate hearings.
The case was formally sent to Norwich Crown Court on September 14 by chair of the bench, Anita Hennington.
Jablonski, who wore an orange T-shirt, had dark hair, was unshaven with a stubbly beard and tattos on his left arm, was remanded in custody.
His solicitor Annette Hall said there was no application for bail.
Urbaniak, who spoke to confirm his details through an interpreter and was wearing an orange T-shirt, indicated a not guity plea to aggravated vehicle taking.
Urbaniak, was granted conditional bail, including that he adheres to an electronically-monitored curfew between 7pm and 6am, until the next hearing on September 14.
It followed a bail application by his solicitor Calvin Saker.
The incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) by Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies, as is standard procedure.
