A man who was involved in a high speed car crash that resulted in the death of his cousin and another man, has been jailed for four and a half years.

Shane Kinney admitted racing his cousin in April 2015 along the Cushendall Road outside Ballycastle.

The resulting crash led to the deaths of his cousin 26 year old Robin Wilson and 18 year old Johnny Black.

Today Kinney was given a nine year sentence - half of which he'll spend in prison.

His parents, Kevin and Sharon Kinney pleaded guilty to trying to help their son hide evidence of his involvement in the crash.

Kevin Kinney was sent to prison for 6 months and his wife was given nine months in jail- suspended for two years.
