Millionaire’s son admits road deaths

The son of a millionaire has admitted causing the deaths of a child actor and his aunt following a police chase and acknowledged the “utterly incomprehensible pain and suffering” he caused to their family.

Joshua Dobby, 23, of no fixed abode, ploughed a black Ford Focus into Makayah McDermott, 10, and Rosie Cooper, 34, in Penge, south London, on Aug 31.

Dobby pleaded not guilty to two manslaughter charges but guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. He will appear at the Old Bailey on Feb 10 for a pre-trial hearing.
