The cousin of two teenage girls killed in a high-speed road crash
in Tauranga on Christmas Day 2011,
has admitted causing their deaths.
Sisters Merepeka and Brooklyn Morehu-Clark
passed away when they were passengers in the
car that crossed the centre line and collided with an oncoming ute.
The driver of that car, Heteraka Reihana,
today pleaded guilty to manslaughter at the High Court in Hamilton.
The girls' mother and another one of their teenage cousins
are also on trial;
both have denied causing their deaths.
