A driver who killed two friends in a car crash has been murdered in what may have been a revenge attack.

Dwayne Ayres was stabbed to death after a gang burst into a house early yesterday.

The 20 year old had only just been freed from jail after serving a sentence for causing death by dangerous driving. He'd been high on cocaine at the time of the smash.

After the attack in Hook, Hampshire, friends bundled Ayres into a car and rushed him to hospital, but he died soon afterwards.

Ayres was sentenced to two and a half years in jail at Winchester Crown Court in October last year after admitting causing the deaths of Callum Forbes, 15, and John Bryant, 18.

The court heard that Ayres had been driving at 70mph in a 40mph zone in a Peugeot 206, going the wrong way around roundabouts and overtaking dangerously.

He lost control of the car and hit a tree outside a school in Fleet, Hants, narrowly missing parents standing nearby. As well as the two teenagers who died, two other passengers were injured and Ayres suffered a punctured lung.

I found myself feeling sickened and shocked by this story.



OK .. so he was an idiot. he served his time. I will bet that despite the negative reporting that he "felt the sheer horror and guilt" all the same.

I feel for him and his family. Of course I feel for his friends who did decide to get into that car with him at the time after all. They must have known he was high on cocaine .. surely??? I am not condemning .. but my own instinct would have warned me away all the same. My own kids .. my older ones aged 21-14 .. assure me .. re-assure me. I think I bring them up with a decent grasp of life..and still we worry. :roll:


But all the same.. should someone kill him?

NOI It does not release the hurt.. the blame.. the guilt .. the anger .. as there are things which have to be said.. gotten off chest... before it recedes to tacit friendship and a bond of fated circumstance .. which we can turn to positive .. and our salvation .. but only if we allow this.


It takes time. It took us some years to get over.. but we did. We are able to talk of the black hole.. able to be friendly with those who caused this .. able to accept the as friends and even surrogate family/

Hate .. revenge.

It consumes .. exhausts us. Does never help us.

Better then to accept fate. Meet the hurt head on. and LIVE LIFE .. ... never forgetting .. but having learned plenty of positive.
