Funeral dates have been set to celebrate the lives of two teenagers who were killed after being struck by a vehicle while riding a motorbike in Newport.
The incident occurred on Aberthaw Road in Alway, Newport, in the early hours of Thursday, May 7. Police believe the pair were hit by a BMW, which then left the scene before officers arrived.
Tributes have been paid to Ta-Shay Canoville, 16, and Jaydon Bowyer, 19, who were both pronounced dead at the scene. The family of Mr Canoville described him as a much-loved son and brother whose "life touched so many hearts", while Mr Bowyer's family said he was "polite, respectful, and full of cheeky charm".
Charges and Court Appearances
Two men have been charged with murder in connection with the deaths. Terell Case, 18, of Sandpiper Way, Duffryn, Newport, and Joshua Williams, 34, of no fixed abode, have been remanded in custody until their next court appearance on June 22.
Two women, aged 24 and 40, from Newport, who had been arrested on suspicion of murder, have since been released without charge.
