Four individuals have been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice following a motorbike crash that resulted in the deaths of two teenagers.
Jaydon Jack Eric Bowyer, 19, and Ta-Shay Carlton Canoville, 16, both residents of Newport, died from blunt trauma after a collision involving a motorbike and a vehicle that subsequently fled the scene on Aberthaw Road on 7 May.
On Tuesday, Yonis Zaid, 18, Ella Persse, 21, Montaser Yafai, 23, along with a 16-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Newport Magistrates' Court in relation to the incident.
Zaid, Persse, and Yafai were remanded in custody, while the 16-year-old was granted conditional bail.
