The tragic incident occurred on June 1 when a high-speed chase involving Owen Maughan, who had consumed 25 pints with his father Patrick, led to the death of four-year-old Peter Maughan. The family was driving home when Owen aggressively rammed their vehicle, causing it to roll multiple times and ejecting Peter. While his mother Hayley and baby sister Annarica sustained minor injuries, Peter suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Owen has admitted to manslaughter but denies murder, while Patrick denies both charges.
