The mother of two boys killed in a triple fatal crash following a police pursuit in New Zealand has posted a video of her doing a burnout as tribute to her sons.

Glen William McAllister, 16, died along with his brother, Craig Robert Hickey-McAllister and Brooklyn Turia Taylor, both 13, on Sunday after the stolen car they were in hit road spikes and crashed into a tree in Christchurch. The impact ruptured the fuel tank, and the car exploded in what police described as a "ball of fire".

Police confirmed the identities of the three boys on Tuesday.

The mother of the two brothers, Juanita Hickey, posted a video on her Facebook page and YouTube on Monday after their funeral.
