A further two people have been charged over the death of a father and his pregnant daughter in a hit-and-run.

A black Alfa Romeo hit a family of five pedestrians in Leopold Street, Ramsgate, in August, killing Yoram Hirshfeld, 81, and Noga Sella, 37.

Barjunsing Bissendary, 58, and Sadhana Bissendary, 55, have been charged with acts intending to pervert the course of justice. Kent Police said.

The charges relate to the alleged concealing of potential evidence.

The pair, who are both from Manston, are due to appear at Medway Magistrates' Court on Friday.
