Robbie Cook, 39, has pleaded guilty to causing the deaths of three men in a high-speed collision in Eastbourne last year. Appearing before Lewes Crown Court on October 23, Cook admitted three counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of perverting the course of justice.

The incident occurred on February 13 in the Hampden Park area. Cook, of Croxden Way, Eastbourne, pursued a Citroen Berlingo carrying three men: Daniel Davies, 21, Jonny Day, 32, and Jon ‘Tommy’ Miller, 36, all from Berkshire. The pursuit tragically ended in a collision on Decoy Drive, where all three men were pronounced dead at the scene.

Cook’s sentencing is scheduled for November 22, where he faces potentially significant penalties for his actions leading to the fatal incident.
