Balloons, fireworks and flares have been released to remember two teenagers whose deaths in a road accident sparked rioting amid rumours police were pursuing them shortly before they died.
Over 1,500 people gathered at the spot in Ely, Cardiff where Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, were killed as they rode a Sur-Ron electric bike on Monday evening.
Many of those gathered held blue balloons and wore white T-shirts adorned with pictures of Kyrees and Harvey, while others stood silently in tears.It was understood the police had been asked not to attend.Speaking at the vigil, one of Harvey’s uncles said: “We’re all tarred with the same brush here, especially given what happened on Monday.“The only difference between Monday and today is that the police aren’t here.
The watchdog is also considering whether the police officers’ actions in the van constituted a pursuit, and whether the interaction between the officers and the boys was “reported appropriately by the officers prior to and following the collision”.
