Man to appear in court over death of father and son in crash two days after Christmas

A man will appear in court charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, after a father and son were killed in a crash just two days after Christmas.

Peter Devlin and his son Loughlin, from Killylea, Co Armagh, were killed during the incident outside the village last Friday December 27.

Four other people, including a baby, were taken to hospital following the two-vehicle crash.

Detectives investigating their deaths have charged a man in court.

The man, aged 32, was charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of causing grievous bodily harm by dangerous driving.

He is due to appear at Newry Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

The joint funeral of Peter and Loughlin was held Wednesday at St. Joseph’s Church in Tynan.
