Marc Kirvin leaves Manchester Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to stealing the handbag of a woman knocked down and decapitated by a lorry

A thief stole the handbag of a hit-and-run victim as her decapitated body lay in the road, a court heard yesterday.

Marc Kirvin, 46, picked up the bag, which contained £1,600 in cash, minutes after grandmother Sawari Ashraf, 62, was hit by a lorry.

The impact propelled Mrs Ashraf’s bag 400ft from her body and Kirvin claimed he did not know an accident had occurred.

He told police he was looking for work that day and had taken the money ‘because of greed’.

His arrest came after CCTV pictures were published of the theft – during which he also took the dead woman’s shoes – on March 29 in Longsight, Manchester.

The grisly nature of the incident also led to ghoulish onlookers taking sick pictures of the scene and posting them on the internet.

Jennifer Baines, prosecuting, said she accepted it was plausible that Kirvin, who was travelling in a different lorry, may not have been aware of the crash as there had been little reaction by motorists in that area and there had been no obvious debris.

She added: ‘The most aggravating feature in this case is because he took the handbag, police had no identification and the lady’s family weren’t aware for two days that their mother and their grandmother had been taken from them.’

Yeah, I'm a pretty harsh person but it's very possible he didn't know so this could be just a case of looking for a scape goat.

It's unfortunate that they couldn't ID her as a result but if he wasn't aware then he shouldn't be doing jail time for that.

They should arrest anyone who took pictures and posted them on the net though.

Why did she have 1600 in cash on her? Baiding.

A lot of the older Asians are like this. They don't trust banks and a lot of their money is dirty. They dont pay tax on a lotta stuff they should be paying it on. So they have bare cash and hold jewellery etc just at home.

she could have just been taking the returns from her shop?? or do people not carry large amounts of cash any more?

just like no one reads paperbacks because of the kindle or ipad, no one writes letters by hand any more and licks stamps and posts it anymore do they?
