    An appeal to overturn the sentence handed to a Sulby woman who killed a cyclist last year has been thrown out.

    The Attorney General's Chambers had argued that the punishment given to 63-year-old Linda Thompson was "unduly lenient". 
     
    In July she was handed an 18-month suspended sentence - nine months were for causing the death of 41-year-old Kathryn Burge by careless driving. 
     
    At Douglas Courthouse yesterday Judge of Appeal Deemster Tattersall dismissed the appeal meaning the sentence remains.
