London - The mother of a young chef killed alongside his girlfriend in a "road rage" incident yesterday made a tearful appeal for witnesses to come forward with information as "a last service to two young people".

Ms Joan Exley, whose son, Toby (22), died with his girlfriend, Ms Karen Martin (20), when their Ford Fiesta was rammed across the central reservation of a dual carriageway into the path of an oncoming car, also made a direct appeal to the driver responsible. Ms Exley (45), a nurse, was supported by her sons Robin (19) and Ben (17), as she read out a statement to reporters at Hampton police station, west London.
