Hit-and-run driver hunted

Police today released a picture of an 11-year-old boy killed after being hit twice in a hit and run smash outside a branch of Ikea.

As the driver who hit him sped off, Michael Richard Martin McDonagh, known as Richie, was then hit by a second car on the North Circular in Wembley, on Saturday. Richie, from Neasden, died later in hospital.

The boy had been on a pedestrian crossing when the first car, believed to have been a BMW, hit him down at 7.20pm on Saturday. The driver drove off towards Brent Cross but the second motorist stopped. Witnesses should call 0208 998 5319.
