WORLD BRIEFING / BRITAIN

A mixed-race British couple has had a second set of twins in which one sibling appears to be black and the other white.

Miya has dark skin like her father, Dean Durrant. Twin sister Leah has fair skin like her blue-eyed, red-haired mother, Alison Spooner. Siblings Lauren and Hayleigh, born in 2001, also have strikingly different skin tones and eye color.

Both sets of twins are fraternal rather than identical, meaning they are from different eggs. “There’s no easy way to explain it all. I’m still in shock myself,” Durrant, 33, told Sky News.
