London, Jan. 29: An Indian- origin man was today remanded in custody by a UK court on charges of three counts of death by dangerous driving after a road collision that killed three teenage boys in London last week.

Jaynesh Chudasama appeared by Uxbridge Magistrate­s’ Court in London, where he was denied bail and remanded to appear before the Old Bailey court in London on February 26.

The 28- year- old had been arrested by Scotland Yard officers after a fatal collision near a bus stop in Hayes, west London, on Friday evening. The Metropolit­an Police have named the victims of the crash as Harry Rice, 17, and 16year- olds George Wilkinson and Josh McGuinness.

They were on their way to a friend’s birthday party when they were killed. A second man, aged 34, was also arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after handing himself in to a north London police station on Saturday evening, following a police appeal.

He continues to remain as he is questioned.

“Detectives from the Roads and Transport Policing Command continue to lead the investigat­ion and a number of enquiries are ongoing,” said Superinten­dent Colin Wingrove, the local borough commander.

“There is understand­ably a lot of shock and grief in the local community. These three young men had their whole lives ahead of them,” he said.

The three victims were walking to a 16th birthday party at a local football club when a black Audi A5 allegedly crashed into them. Some of their friends who survived the crash are reported to have run after. is custody
