Teenager admits causing crash that killed five

 A 15-year-old boy has admitted causing the deaths of five people, including three children, by dangerous driving after a car crashed into a tree last month.

The teenager, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to the five charges at Leeds Crown Court.

Ellis Thornton-kimmitt, 12, his brother, Elliott, 14, Darnell Harte, 15, Robbie Meerun, 24, and Anthony Armour, also 24, all died after what police described as a “catastrophic” crash in the Meanwood area of Leeds on Nov 25.

Appearing in court via a video-link yesterday, the accused boy was told that reports would be prepared and he would be sentenced on Jan 26.
