Man charged in beating pleads guilty in car crash

(AP) – 13 hours ago

NEW YORK — A man who had already been ordered deported and charged in a deadly beating has pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter in connection with a crash that killed two people.

Daryush (dahr-YOOSH) Omar entered the plea Wednesday in a Queens court. The 25-year-old expects up to 10 1/2 years in prison at his sentencing, set for Sept. 9.

Omar admitted he was drunk when he smashed into a livery cab Nov. 16, killing driver Bessy Velasquez and Panayiota Demetriou, a graduate student from Cyprus.

Omar had been charged with murder in Manhattan in a case that stalled but remains open. He also had been released from immigration detention because of time limits.

Omar is a Pakistani native. Court documents show U.S. authorities say he is an Afghan citizen. He has contested that.
