A man was today given a two-year jail term suspended for four years after having been found guilty of causing the death of two girls at the Mriehel Bypass.

The incident happened on August 21, 2005 at 9.15 p.m.

Emma Marie Housley, 17 and 13-year-old-Graziella Fenech were killed after having been hit by a car driven by Ivan Cutajar as they crossed the road. They had been on their way to see a sick friend.

Some other youths who were with them later said they had heard screeching tyres and returned to find the two girls on the ground. Fenech died a few days after the incident.

The court found that the driver had not been keeping a proper lookout. He was also fined a €4,000.
