A teenager who died in a horrific crash was previously convicted for his role in a plot to steal a takeaway owner's Mercedes which resulted in the victim being run over by his own car and killed. Dean Barnes died on January 24 after being involved in a collision between a motorbike and a car in Stockport which left him with fatal injuries, the Manchester Evening News reports.

The Birmingham teen, who's been described as a 'sweet boy', was convicted following an investigation into the death of Mohammed Islam in January 2021.
He was charged with conspiracy to steal and his co-defendant - who was 15 at the time of conviction and can't be identified for legal reasons - was jailed for four years and nine years after admitting manslaughter. Mr Islam was a 'an influential and inspiring father and husband' who was the owner of the Marple Spice restaurant.
He was run over and killed by his own car in an attempt to stop his vehicle from being stolen. The business owner had gone to the door of a house on Lyme Grove in Romiley to deliver a takeaway and the teenager convicted of manslaughter got into Mr Islam's 'cherished' Mercedes C-Class.
Manchester Crown Court heard in November 2021 that witnesses heard someone screaming 'no, no, no' after the boy got into the car. Mr Islam ran back to the vehicle and held onto it in a desperate attempt to stop him and a resident said they saw the boy speed away.
The restaurant owner held on for about 30 metres before he was thrown to the road where his head hit the ground and was then run over by his own car at about 9pm on
