Deadly Crash on River Nene Claims Two Teens
Declan was one of five teenagers in a blue VW Polo that careened off the road at Crab Marsh at around 8pm on Tuesday, March 17, plunging straight into the river.
While 16-year-old Eden Bunn’s body was recovered the next day, Declan’s whereabouts remained a mystery — until today’s grim discovery.
