Mind-blowing
The hit-and-run driver who killed 6 year old Owen Wightman was caught on CCTV.

His car was filmed by a camera on a passing bus in Wakefield, West Yorks.

The Sun today proposes a £10,000 reward in the hunt for the driver.

Owen's brother was heartbroken and sobbed yesterday after leaving a touching tribute at the spot where he was killed.

Jack, 12, and other family members had made the sombre pilgrimage to lay flowers and a cuddly monkey.

The heartbroken Jack attached a note that read: "Dear Owen, you was the best bro ever. Even when we used to fight and argue I still love you anyway."

As Jack sat staring at the tributes he burst into tears and had to be comforted by another family member.
Dad Neil and mum Joanne yesterday pleaded for the fugitive driver who sped off after hitting Owen to give himself up. "We have lost our baby and ask for someone to please come forward so we can lay him to rest," said Joanne.

Police wish to trace the driver's car, said to be a light hatchback, using CCTV footage captured by a passing bus. They also have sections of the vehicle which broke off when Owen was hit on Saturday as he crossed a road with pal Mason Boardman in Wakefield.

"They are with the forensic service and I am very hopeful the scientists will be able to identify exactly the make and model," said Detective Superintendent Paul Taylor.

"I am also hoping with CCTV enhancement we may get a registration number. That being the case, I would appeal for the driver to come forward and give their version of events prior to us knocking on their door."
Det Supt Taylor said Joanne, 31, and Neil, 33, were "ravaged" and Mason, 7, was still in shock. Mason's dad Lee said: "He hasn't wanted to go to school today."
