Marwaan Mohamed Huseen, 20, pleaded guilty to causing the death of Marcus Fakana, 19, after crashing a BMW into a lorry during a Metropolitan Police pursuit in Tottenham on October 3. Mr Fakana died in hospital and a second passenger was seriously hurt. Huseen admits being uninsured and unlicensed and also pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving. Huseen appeared by videolink from HMP Pentonville at Wood Green Crown Court to enter the pleas. Police attempted to stop a vehicle of interest on Pretoria Road around 00:52, pursued it for about 60 seconds, temporarily lost sight and later found the vehicle on The Roundway where it had been involved in a collision. The fatal crash occurred three months after Mr Fakana was released from a Dubai prison following a royal pardon after serving about a year for a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old while on holiday in the UAE.
