A KIDDERMINSTER motorist has admitted causing the death of a 36-year-old Stourport man while driving uninsured.

Kamil Jussak, aged 23, of Long Acre, pleaded guilty to causing the death of Matthew Cullum while driving a Nissan Skyline car in Hillary Road, Stourport, without insurance on August 29 last year.

Judge Nicolas Cartwright, sitting at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday (June 1), adjourned sentencing for reports until June 24, allowing the defendant bail in the meantime.

The charge against Jussak, who was assisted in the crown court dock by a Polish interpreter, follows the discovery of Mr Cullum’s body at 4am on August 29 last year in Hillary Road.

Mr Cullum, who worked as a data control operative in the Kidderminster area, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three further allegations – of failing to stop after an accident, failing to report it and not giving his name and address - were put to Jussak but he said he did not know how to plead to those.

Judge Cartwright told Peter Fortune, defending, that he could discuss those pleas with the defendant before the next hearing.

But, if Jussak did not plead guilty to them, those allegations would have to go back to magistrates’ court for trial.

The judge told Jussak that the fact he had been given bail should “not be taken as any indication or promise” about his sentence on June 24.

Following the discovery of Mr Cullum’s body last August, the police issued an appeal for witnesses and they later reported that a 22-year-old man from Kidderminster had handed himself in.

After Mr Cullum’s death, a statement from his relatives described him as “a great character and wonderful family man”.

The tragedy came seven years after Mr Cullum had a life-changing motorcycle crash in Stourport, when he broke his neck and spent two weeks in a coma at Birmingham’s Selly Oak Hospital.

As a result of that smash Mr Cullum, who had a fiancée, Clair Price, lost the use of his left arm.
