A drunken man who killed two people in a car crash, was performing a sex act on himself moments before he caused the fatal accident, a UK court was told yesterday.

Imran Hussain, 32, who was twice over the legal alcohol limit, was pleasuring himself and driving at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour when he ploughed into the back of a Fiat Punto carrying a family who were heading for a trip to the US.

The smash killed Gary Proctor, 47, and his 16-year-old son James.

The court was told that Mr Hussain had rowed with his wife hours before the crash in August, and had gone out drinking with friends as well as visiting a lap-dancing club.

CCTV footage caught him staggering to the counter at a petrol station where he threatened to kill the cashier.
