Three people killed in Cardiff car crash after night out are named



the weekend. The Sky News can confirm now the name of the three people inside the car found just off this roundabout outside of Cardiff who died on Saturday. They are 21-year-old Eve Smith, also 21 Darcy Ross and 24-year-old Raphael Jean. This is a story which really began on Friday night. Eve Smith, Darcy and their friends Sophie, both of them were out partying in Newport and they had then travelled with two men, Raphael Jean, one of the deceased, and Shane Loughlin, towards Porth Call, around 30 miles west of Newport, to continue their party. They had then travelled from there to Cardiff and it is in Cardiff in the early hours of Saturday morning that the vehicle they were in was last spotted. On Saturday morning the family members of all five reported to them missing to the police and what then they started was a whole weekend of high profile social media campaigning to try and raise awareness of just where these five young people had ended up.

None of them had made any communications, phone family or friends or been on their social media. It was in the early hours of this morning just after midnight that South Wales police confirmed they had found the vehicle in question inside the wooded area and it is understood that that car had come off the approach here to the roundabout, a busy main road and gone into the woodland area. It is inside that car. They found the five people and as I say three lost their lives. 21 year old Ed Smith, 21 year old Darcy Ross and 24 year old Raphael Jean. Sophie Russen who is 20 and Shane Lachlan in his 30s are both in hospital. We understand in a serious condition.

There are of course questions now and questions being asked amongst the community here, not only in New Port where many of them from but also in Cardiff, as how they could not have been noticed for nearly 48 hours right beside a main road outside of Cardiff. That will be a question of course that police will be focusing on and many of the locals want answers. Brent police has already referred itself to the police watchdog, the IOPC.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
