Mini Cooper driver ‘killed two passengers and injured a third’

A Mini Cooper driver denied killing two of her passengers in a horrific crash when she appeared at the Old Bailey today (Weds).

Adele Okojie Aidonojie, 23, allegedly caused the deaths of Rida Boujetif and Mary Macharia, 23, on Latchmere Road in Battersea, southwest London, at around 3.24am on July 16 last year.

She appeared in court charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in relation to a third passenger, Ben Sidibe.

Aidonojie, of Edgeborough Way, Bromley, is due to stand trial on March 26 next year and must produce a defence statement by September 29.

Relatives of the victims were in court as Aidonojie denied the offences.

She was granted conditional bail until her trial.
