A killer driver who was high on ice when he claimed the life of a teenage girl after he crashed into the car carrying her and her parents has pleaded guilty to his horrific offending.

Gulet Mohammed Ahmed, of Essendon, appeared in the County Court on Wednesday via a prison link for an arraignment hearing over the deadly incident in Coburg on March 11, 2023.

Ahmed was also four times the legal blood alcohol limit when he slammed into an Alfa Romeo on Lygon St, killing a 16-year-old Katherine Osborne and injuring her parents.

Katherine, who studied at Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar was travelling with her family on Lygon St when Ahmed hit them in his Volkswagen.

Katherine died in the hospital four days after the crash.

Her parents Michael and Alexandra Osborne were also injured in the crash.

The court heard the charges against Ahmed and the court associate asked Ahmed if he wished to plead guilty or not guilty.

To which Ahmed said: “Guilty”.
