The night of the crash, Varden received a call from the girls’ mother who told him, “If I had a gun I would shoot myself.”

Varden replied, “If I had a gun I would do it for you myself.”

"I thought Faith was dying, but she recognised my voice and I was delighted,” said Varden.

"I did not see Mary Carberry again until Ava's funeral. I was angry. I am still angry.”

"No way would I have given the car to her if I thought she was going to use it that way. I trusted her."

The case continues.

The girl's father is just as much to blame as the mother; he bought the vehicle while he knew she couldn't legally drive. That she promised him and he believed her is his fault too; she's a drunk and cannot be trusted.
