After Brown pleaded guilty to all 21 charges at Belfast Crown Court yesterday (Tuesday), the crown prosecutor said: “This is a case where victim impact reports will be obtained in respect of the families of the two deceased, and of a third young man who was seriously injured in this tragic incident.”
Brown’s barrister, Jonpaul Shields, confirmed pre-sentence reports would also be sought on behalf of his client.
Brown will be sentenced for the offences in March.
