Suicide attempts delay sentencing

A court has adjourned sentencing a Barnsley man who killed his wife and unborn son in a car crash.
Paul McDonald, 32, from Kendray, had exceeded the drink-drive limit when his car hit the back of a stationary lorry last December.

He admitted causing death by dangerous driving at an earlier hearing.

At Sheffield Crown Court, a judge adjourned sentencing for psychiatric reports as McDonald had tried to kill himself three times since the crash.
