'Beloved sons' killed in Okehampton car crash.
Tributes have been paid to two young men who tragically lost their lives in a car crash on a Devon road.
Devon and Cornwall Police reported that the crash, involving a blue MG ZS, occurred at approximately 03:15 GMT on Tuesday on the B3260 in Okehampton.
On Friday, police identified the victims as Alfie Abbott, 20, from Kingsteignton, and Liam Shears, 18, from Chagford. Both were described by their families as "beloved sons."
A 20-year-old man from Chagford, who was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs and causing death by dangerous driving, has been de-arrested but will attend a police interview in due course.
Mr. Abbott, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was remembered by his family as "a beloved son, brother, and a great friend to many. He was the life and soul of every party and someone who will be sincerely missed."
The family of Mr. Shears, who passed away while being transported to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, paid tribute to him as "a beloved son, brother, boyfriend, and a great friend to many."
Police have renewed their appeal for witnesses to the incident and urge anyone with information to contact investigating officers.
