Police are now in a position to release the names of those who died in a crash on Botany Road on 31 May.
They were husband and wife, David and Norris McArthur, aged 83 and 81.
Two dogs were also in the McArthur’s car at the time, one dying at the scene with the second being taken to a nearby Vet clinic.
Our thoughts are with their family at this difficult time. Media are advised the family have requested privacy.
A Police investigation into the crash remains ongoing and there are no further updates at this point.
ENDS.
