A joyride in a stolen car has turned to tragedy with the deaths of two teenagers, south east of Melbourne. Another is fighting for her life after the stolen car they were travelling in crashed yesterday afternoon. An 18 year old girl and 16 year old boy died at the scene, a 17 year old girl is in a critical condition. It's alleged the driver of the stolen vehicle tried to flee but was held by a passer-by until police arrived. The 20 year old man is now in hospital under police guard.
The U-S justice department and the FBI will investigate the circumstances of the apparent suicide of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The 66 year old was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving underage girls, and was recently taken off suicide watch. The billionaire was found unresponsive in his New York prison cell on Saturday and was pronounced dead at hospital. His death has raised serious questions about how it could happen, and has left his accusers angry he will never face justice.

Two climbers have died in a suspected cliff fall in South Australia's Flinders Ranges.
