A REDDITCH man has been jailed for seven years for his part in a late-night road race which killed three taxi passengers.

Christopher Churchill, 28, was jailed alongside Christopher Antonio at Swansea Crown Court last week.

The two were found guilty of killing the three passengers when an illicit late-night road race in high-powered cars went horrifyingly wrong.

Churchill, a Halfords manager, and Antonio, 20, both stepped unscathed from the wreckage of their cars after the triple fatality in Swansea in June last year.

Andrew Corbett, 19, and engaged couple Lesley-Ann Morgan, 21, and Neil Jenkins, 24, all of Swansea, died in the smash.

Two others were gravely injured.

Churchill was also banned from driving for nine years.
