The Fermanagh driver who this week admitted killing four young people by dangerous driving was found to have been caught speeding on the same stretch of road just months after the fatal crash.

Daniel McDonnell, 21, from Galloon Gardens, Newtownbutler, was also over the drink-drive limit when his car went out of control and hit a tree, killing Peter Leonard, Anita Swift, Jonathan McDonald and Danica O'Rourke, who all died in the crash near Lisnaskea in July 2006.

In October 2006, on the same stretch of the Moorlough Road, McDonnell was stopped by police for speeding.

He was doing more than 65mph, when he was a restricted driver and should not have been doing more than 45mph.

He told police: "I was in a hurry. I'm late for work". It was his second conviction for speeding.

Adjourning Monday's case for sentencing on 21 February, Judge McFarland warned McDonnell that he would be going to prison.

The crash tragedy was compounded when the Swift family were given the wrong girl's body for burial.

The body of one of the teenage girls had to be exhumed after it emerged the wrong person had been buried.

At the time, the coroner admitted there had been "initial misidentification".
