wanton and furious driving
This is definitely the same as Alliston. Not sure he was charged with manslaughter though, which was contentious point in various parts of the media at the time.
Whatever the circumstances, RIP Peter McCombie - very sad.

He was charged with manslaughter*, but not convicted of it.
* Possibly / probably because there is no equivalent of Death by Dangerous Driving for people riding bicycles - where DbDD was introduced to replace charges of Manslaughter for killing people with your car, as juries were supposedly less likely to convict a manslaughter charge. Charges are most often reduced to Death by Careless Driving in any case. If charges are even passed on to the CPS.

He was charged with manslaughter but I think (I can't remember for certain and IANAL) that was related to the brakeless element of it.

Haven't seen this elsewhere on the forum but the guy who knocked down an old man and cycled away has been caught. Been charged with manslaughter and wanton and furious driving.
It's that the same charge as Charlie Alliston?
