He sustained serious head injuries and died the next day.

On Wednesday, at Birmingham Crown Court, Paul Biggs and Dale Sharpen pleaded guilty to Liam’s manslaughter and actual bodily harm against the 18-year-old rider.

Biggs, from Hutton Drive, Brentwood, Essex was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison.

He was also disqualified from driving for 12 and a half years. Sharpen, aged 31, from Vicarage Road, Woodford Green, Essex, was sentenced to nine years.

Detective Inspector Ranj Sangha, from West Midland Police's homicide team, said: "Liam’s death was tragic and completely uncalled for.

“Being chased by the car must have been terrifying for him and the young rider.

"The level of aggression and rage used was totally disproportionate and their actions have left a young man dead, and his family and friends devastated.

“I hope the fact they have admitted their guilt today and saved Liam’s loved ones the pain and anguish of a trial offers them some comfort – as well as knowing that they will now serve lengthy prison sentences.”

Police trawled hours of CCTV and ANPR cameras to find the silver Volvo S60 that was registered to a false name and address.

Further enquires were carried out to track the car's movements which showed the pair at various locations in Essex before travelling to Birmingham on March 22.

Biggs and Sharpen were arrested on 11 May and charged with murder and wounding.
