Yesterday, Aiden’s brother, Nathan Pearson, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court. A Cambridgeshire Police spokesman said he pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving while over the prescribed alcohol limit.

Nathan Pearson, (31) of of Mountbatten Way, Peterborough, will be sentenced on July 15.

He was given an interim driving ban when he appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court last month.

The road was closed for most of the following day while investigations were carried out.
