SDLP West Tyrone MLA Joe Byrne has said the entire county is at a loss after the heartbreaking double tragedy involving teenagers Kevin Conway and Lisa O’Donnell between Pomeroy and Carrickmore on Saturday.
Mr Byrne said: “This is just heartbreaking. A tragic, tragic turn of events made all the harder coming in the mouth of Christmas.
“Two young lives have been ended in the cruellest of circumstances, just as they were preparing to make their way in the world. The whole county of Tyrone is at a loss for this and it has made an indelible mark on the people, even further afield, coming so close to tragic deaths on roads in Magherafelt and Armagh over the past few days.
