Rohan Dennis was injured in a suspended prison sentence and his driver's license was freed for five years in the death of his wife Melissa Hoskins for five years.

The 34-year-old Australian, who retired from professional cycling at the end of the 2023 season, appeared before the district court in South Australia on Wednesday to hear the judge's prison sentence after he was guilty of less charges at the end of last year.

“There is no claim that they knew or even considered, the likelihood that their wife was still going next to the car” BBC. “However, it is important to recognize that they are not accused of causing the death of their wife.”

The 32 -year -old Hoskins was fatally injured on December 30, 2023 in front of her house near Adelaide, Australia, after a domestic argument was heated.

Hoskins later died in the hospital after being hit by a vehicle driven by Dennis.

He was initially charged for dangerous driving, which caused death and driving without gate -free care, but became known due to a lower indictment due to a serious number of damage to the probability of damage that caused a seven -year prison sentence.

Dennis' lawyer argued that the law was not intended and the retired cyclist suffered from grief.

The judge recognized Dennis' Reue when he granted the verdict, but warned him for bad judgment.

“It was your obligation to make the vehicle dangerous for your physical well -being when driving this vehicle,” he said, according to a report, of a report from ABC.

“The fact that they didn't stop because they wanted to go is a very bad reason not to do this.”

Melissa Hoskins was the world champion of team tracking in 2015 and twice Olympians. She and Dennis were married in 2018 and had two children.

Argument becomes tragic

The events of the evening that led to the tragedy were outlined during the conviction.

According to the certificate, Dennis and Hoskins had a heated argument about a kitchen renovation on the night of the incident.

Dennis tried to drive out of the couple's house when Hoskins climbed onto the motor hood of the car. Dennis drove with hoskins on the car of the car on 75 yards, as CCTV video unveiled.

Statements showed that Hoskins then tried to open a car door when Dennis continued, then fell and suffered fatal injuries, said lawyers.

Dennis received a 17-month suspended prison sentence, which means that he will not go to prison if he meets the good behavioral requirements of the court.

Outside of the courtroom, Hoskins spoke 'grieving parents Peter and Amanda with the media.

“She was really something special,” said Peter Hoskins about his daughter in the media. “It is now time for us to continue what Melissa's expectations would be. Obviously we want to continue to be an essential part of the life of their children and their future.”

Hoskins' family said they hadn't pushed that Dennis received a harder prison sentence or wanted to go to prison.

He said Dennis did not have to apologize to the Hoskins family.

“I am sure that will come over time. I think it's difficult for everyone,” said Hoskins. “We have to remember that two people are involved in this tragedy who have lost their mother. So that they lose their father, I don't think that would be ideal at all.

“Your health and well -being are more important than a time of detention.”
