A Dublin man wanted in Hungary for causing the deaths of two children in a car incident in Budapest more than 10 years ago has voluntarily entered custody until the outcome of his extradition fight is known.
Hungarian authorities have sought the surrender of Ciarán Tobin (47), Offington Drive, Sutton, who was convicted in absentia of negligent driving causing the deaths of siblings Marton (5) and Petra Zotlai (2) in 2000. He was sentenced to three years in jail, reduced to 18 months on appeal. In February the High Court ordered he be extradited. He is appealing this to the Supreme Court. He entered custody of his own volition at the High Court yesterday.
