November 29th 2023.
Today marks a somber occasion as the inquests into the deaths of four young men open in Caernarfon. Wilf Fitchett, Harvey Owen, Hugo Morris, and Jevon Hirst were tragically killed in a car crash in North Wales.
The four teenagers were reported missing on November 19 after they failed to return home from an overnight camping trip in the Snowdonia area. A frantic search effort ended when the silver Ford Fiesta they had been travelling in was discovered overturned and partially submerged in water on November 21.
Tributes have been pouring in for the Shrewsbury College students, calling them kind, loving, and sweet. Wilf's girlfriend, Maddi Corfield, expressed her grief, saying "I love you so much, I'm going to miss you forever. The sweetest and most loving boy I've ever known. I hope you know how much I love you, gorgeous." Crystal Owen, mother of Harvey, shared her heartbreak, saying she was "living in a nightmare" after learning of her son's death.
Today, Kate Robertson, senior coroner for North West Wales, will formally open the inquests into their deaths. A date for the full inquest to begin is expected to be set as well.
This tragedy has rocked the community and the families of these four young men have our deepest sympathies. They will be remembered as kind, loving, and full of potential.
