A DISABLED pedestrian jailed for causing a cyclist's death in a row over using the pavement has been released on bail after winning the right to challenge her manslaughter conviction.

Auriol Grey, 50, was sentenced to three years in March 2023 after waving aggressively at retired midwife Celia Ward, 77, who fell into the path of an oncoming car in Huntingdon, Cambs, in 2020.

Grey, who has cerebral palsy and is partially blind, lost an appeal against her sentence in May last year but has since instructed new lawyers who took her case to the Appeal Court in London.

Now Grey has been freed from HMP Peterborough pending her appeal and yesterday politely declined to answer any questions.
