Police have named a man who died alongside his wife and unborn baby in a crash in Crumlin last week.

Ralph Anthony Singco, aged in his 30s, was killed in the two-car collision near Nutts Corner.

His pregnant wife Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco, was also killed, as was their baby daughter, whose name has been confirmed as Kate Singco.

A GoFundMe page set up to pay for the family’s repatriation to their home country of the Philippines has raised more than £68,000.

The page reads: “It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco and her husband, Ralph Anthony Singco.

“Kith and Ralph were dedicated members of our community who spent their lives in service to others as healthcare workers. Kith served with compassion as a nurse, and Ralph was a devoted care assistant.

“Their lives were defined by their kindness and their commitment to the health and wellbeing of those in their care.”

It added: “The Singco family were valued members of our community, but their roots and extended families are in the Philippines.

“It is the shared and heartfelt wish of both Cathrene’s and her husband’s families to bring them back to their home country.”

Detective Inspector Stewart, of the Collision Investigation Unit, said: “A number of other people sustained minor injuries in the collision, which involved a blue Ford Fiesta and a silver Skoda Superb, which collided on the Moira Road at around 2pm on Sunday.

“Our thoughts are with the family of the couple, who have requested privacy in order to be allowed to grieve the loss of their loved ones at this very sad time.”
