Late-night collision claims three lives

Three men were murdered in a car accident, and their families have talked of their “broken hearts.”

On February 13, an accident involving Daniel Davies, 21, Jonny Day, 32, and Jon “Tommy” Miller, 36, resulted in their deaths in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

They were all from Berkshire, the county.

A silver Citroen Berlingo was found to have perhaps collided with their car just before the event, according to an inquiry.

A grey Range Rover Sport has been located and recovered and two men from Eastbourne, aged 38 and 40, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

They have been released on conditional bail.

The families of Daniel, Jonny and Jon have now issued the following tributes as the three men are pictured for the first time.
