A MOTHER has admitted defrauding an insurance company by trying get cover on a car involved in a fatal collision.

Jasuir Kaur Jutla tried to arrange insurance on a Vauxhall Corsa after the vehicle had been involved in a crash on July 9 last year, in which 20-year-old father-of-two Alistair Barman died.

His Kawasaki sports motorbike collided with the Corsa in Oxford Road, West Reading, and at Alistair's Inquest in April, Berkshire coroner Peter Bedford recorded a verdict of accidental death.

The car was being driven by Jutla's son, Ruminder Singh Jutla, 21, of Reading Road, Winnersh.

He admitted a charge of careless or inconsiderate driving in November last year and was fined £1,000 and banned from driving for a year.

At Swindon Crown Court on Tuesday, Jutla, 47, of the same address, appeared alongside another of her sons, Hardev Jutla, 24, the owner of the car.

Both were facing one charge of perverting the course of justice and two charges of fraud, all for trying to arrange car insurance with Direct Line after the fatal crash without disclosing the incident.

The pair had previously denied all charges and a jury was sworn in to try them, but the six men and six women were dismissed when Jutla changed her plea to guilty on one of the fraud charges.

Judge Douglas Field accepted the plea and acquitted the pair of the other charges.

Jutla was fined £1,000.
