Omesh Ramnarain is expected to plead guilty to the criminal charges leveled against him in connection with the 2016 deaths of cyclists Richard da Silva and Jaryd Dwyer.
It is alleged that a drunk Ramnarain got behind the wheel of a VW Golf GTi and slammed into da Silva, 46, of Glen Anil, and Dwyer, 36, of Glenwood, killing the pair last year.
