Parents of 4yo killed in Canberra crash call for 'lightest possible sentence'

Key points

• The parents of four-year-old Osal Pokhrel have asked the court to impose the lightest possible sentence on Maureen Brew, the 80-year-old driver whose car struck their son. Osal was riding on a shopping trolley pushed by his parents when the car hit him at Southlands Shopping Centre in Mawson in January. He died in hospital.
• Brew has pleaded guilty to culpable driving causing death. The court heard she pressed the accelerator instead of the brake after the car mounted a kerb.
• Prosecutors argued a prison term was needed. Justice Belinda Baker reserved her decision for a later date.
