A man has been charged after a father and son were killed in a crash in County Armagh.

Peter and Loughlin Devlin died at the scene of the two-car collision outside the village of Killylea last Friday.

One woman sustained serious injuries and remains in a critical condition.

The man, aged 32, has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, and one count of causing grievous bodily injury by dangerous driving.

He is due to appear before Newry Magistrates' Court on Friday 3 January.

At the funeral Mass of the two men on Wednesday, in Tynan, the priest said that "faith and providing for their families was what was very important to each one of them."

He added that "love was very important in their lives".
