The deaths sparked a riot in Ely which saw cars set alight, fireworks thrown at police and 15 officers injured.

On Tuesday, Mr Michael said: " It would appear that there were rumours, and those rumours became rife, of a police Chase - which wasn't the case. "

Later on Tuesday South Wales Police said it was " studying CCTV and tracking data from The Police vehicle" adding that there were " no police vehicles on Snowden Road" at The Time of The Crash .

" I was assured, and I Am still assured, that the youths were not being chased by The Police at The Time of The Road traffic accident, " Mr Michael told on Wednesday.

Mr Michael denied being misinformed when he previously claimed that no police Chase had occurred.

" What Happened was footage emerged of something that happened a Short Time before The Road traffic accident, and that too needs to be investigated.

" That was not available to The Police or to me at The Time when we responded to The First thing that happened, which was a road traffic accident, " he added.

Mr Michael claimed the CCTV footage was filmed Five Minutes before The Crash occurred.

" There was no police vehicle in The Road where The Crash happened. There was a police van in another street and The Police were called quickly to The Accident and conducted CPR, " he added.

" That is being investigated as well and the latter is being referred to The Independent office for police conduct so anything that comes in needs to be investigated fully so we have the full picture. "

Police watchdog, The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), has said it is sending investigators to assess " whether the IOPC will carry out an independent investigation".
