The driver of a 4×4 that ploughed into a primary school killing two eight-year-old girls has been rearrested after bereaved families criticised the police investigation into the tragedy.
Police have re-arrested the driver of the car that ploughed into a Wimbledon prep school in 2023, killing two pupils.
An initial investigation by the force's Roads and Transport Policing Command resulted in a direction from the Crown Prosecution Service in June 2024 that the driver should face no further action. The families had said they remained 'unconvinced' that the investigation was conducted thoroughly after it was announced in June that the driver would not face criminal charges.Detective Superintendent Basford said: 'I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to any witnesses or individuals with information who are yet to speak to police to please come forward.
Following the announcement by the Met Police, the families of Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau said: 'We welcomed the reopening of the investigation in October 2024 by the Metropolitan Police into the death of our beautiful girls and the harm caused to those injured and who witnessed the tragedy on that sunny July day.
Speaking after the CPS's initial decision, Ms Freemantle released a statement saying she had no memory of the incident, having lost consciousness. 'As a mother, I understand there can be no words that adequately express the pain and loss resulting from what happened in those horrendous moments while I was unconscious.
