A police watchdog has given an update into its investigation into police interaction with two teenagers prior to their deaths in Ely. Best friends Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, died in a collision in Ely, Cardiff, on Monday evening.
Nine people between the ages of 15 and 21 were arrested following the disorder. CCTV from the area has since confirmed police were following the teenagers despite South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Alun Michael dismissing it the following day as "rumour".
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) began an investigation earlier this week after receiving a referral from South Wales Police due to CCTV footage showing a marked police van driving behind the boys’ electric bike, in a nearby street, shortly before the collision on May 22.
