US millionaire quizzed over death of two Brits in Florida
A US millionaire is to be questioned about the hit-and-run deaths of two Midland businessmen in Florida after police discovered he owned the Porsche involved.
Ryan LeVin denies being behind the wheel of the £110,000 sports car, which had not been reported stolen.
Family men Kenneth Watkinson and Craig Elford, both from Warwickshire, were killed when the Porsche careered out of control at 100mph, mounting a pavement and hitting them from behind. The badly-damaged vehicle was later found dumped.
LeVin, a jewellery firm heir, was placed on probation for 30 months in 2007 after sparking a police car chase that left three people injured.
Friends and business partners Kenneth Watkinson and Craig Elford were strolling back to the Courtyard Marriott hotel on a Florida beach front, but seconds later they were lying dead in the hotel gardens. Thirty four-year-old LeVin denies being behind the wheel.
Father-of-three Mr Watkinson, aged 48, and dad-of-two Mr Elford, aged 39, were in America on a six-day trip to recruit for their Stratford-upon-Avon pharmaceutical business, Ingala Healthcare Ltd.
Mr Watkinson, from Harbury, near Leamington, and new dad Mr Elford, from Ratley, Warwickshire, are believed to have died instantly in the crash.
