A man who killed two best friends on their way to a school ball after speeding at more than twice the limit and smashing his car into a tree has been jailed for seven years.

Anthony McGinn, 61, was put in a “position of trust” to drive best pals Kiea McCann, 17, and Dlava Mohamed, 16, to the event in Monaghan Town, Ireland, in July 2023 when the horror unfolded. The teenagers tragically died side-by-side while Dlava's sister - who had joined them on the ride - was left seriously injured.
