Instead, the evening would bring about the tragic end of their lives, following the aforementioned crash that played out after McGinn had been asked to slow down multiple times.

Both girls, as well as a friend sitting in the front passenger seat, Oisin Clerkin, had reportedly asked the driver to check his speed, but he ignored them.

Clerkin later revealed how frightened he had been as the vehicle sped through the country roads, telling the court that Kiea also appeared visibly scared. Prior to McGinn losing control of car it was said to be traveling at 94mph, almost twice the 50mph limit of the road in question.

Heartbreakingly, reports relay how the girls both died at the scene, side by side, holding hands.
