A driver has been warned to expect "significant and substantial" imprisonment after being convicted of causing the deaths of two teenage passengers.

Shaun Waters was "snaking or mucking about", said a judge, when his car was in a head-on crash with a lorry on the A20 near Lenham on February 28 last year.

Joseph Bunce, 17, and 14-year-old Daisy Washington were killed and both Waters and Elena Cowell were badly injured.

Waters, of Magpie Hall Road, Chatham, denied two charges of causing death by dangerous driving but was convicted of both by an 11-1 majority.

Judge James O'Mahony refused bail and remanded the 22-year-old father in custody for reports until August 15.

He told the former soldier: "I have no doubt that you were guilty of not a momentary course of driving which resulted in the death of those two young people, but a significant course of driving, including snaking or mucking about, whichever way you look at that which has been described.

"This is a very serious matter indeed. Those two lives were lost. Lives of others, including your stepdaughter being at risk as well."

The judge added: "It was a horrible accident and you were responsible. You have to pay the price. I am not going to play cat and mouse by indicating otherwise."
