A man has pleaded guilty to killing a young woman by dangerous driving.

Calin Maybury, 29, pleaded guilty to another charge of causing grievous bodily harm to a second victim in a two-vehicle pile-up more than two years ago.

Maybury finally confessed to his crimes when he appeared in court during yesterday’s arraignments session — more than two years after the tragic incident that claimed the life of Troni Aisha Robinson-Burgess.

Ms Robinson-Burgess, 22, was killed in the crash involving two motorcycles in Southampton on the night of July 29, 2022.

Jaziah Richardson Webb, who was also on the cycle, sustained life-threatening injuries in the collision, but survived.

According to police reports issued soon after the incident, the crash happened at about 11.45pm just west of Horseshoe Road. on July 29, 2022.

In court yesterday, it was not disclosed which of the two women were riding the motorcycle.

The defendant, dressed in causal clothes, was quietly spoken during court proceedings yesterday. When asked by Puisne Judge Juan Wolffe to enter his pleas to two of five counts, he replied in a whisper: “Guilty.”

Maybury faced three other charges that he did no have to answer during yesterday’s hearing — causing death by driving while impaired, causing grievous bodily harm while impaired, and failing to comply with a demand by a police officer.

A request by prosecutor Carrington Mahoney that those charges remain on file was agreed to by the judge.

Mr Justice Wolffe also agreed to a request by defence lawyer Marc Daniels that a sentence hearing be held only after a social inquiry report be conducted on his client.

Maybury will learn his fate on May 1.

Members of Ms Robinson-Burgess’s family were in court for yesterday’s hearing.

Although they declined to comment immediately after proceedings concluded, a spokeswoman for the family did issue a statement yesterday afternoon.

The statement said: “We are elated there will be a resolution to this tragedy soon, as its going on for three years.

“We are also glad there will be no trial to endure to reopen those wounds.”
