The Metropolitan Police has made the decision to reopen the investigation into the tragic car crash that resulted in the deaths of two young girls at The Study Prep school in Wimbledon. Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau lost their lives in the accident, which occurred during an end-of-term tea party last year when a Land Rover crashed into a building after smashing through a fence.
The decision to reopen the investigation came after concerns were raised by the families of the victims. Initially, it was announced that the driver of the vehicle, Claire Freemantle, had suffered an epileptic seizure at the time of the crash and would not face criminal charges. However, the families remained unconvinced that the investigation had been conducted thoroughly.
In response to the families’ concerns, the Metropolitan Police stated that further examination is needed, leading to the reopening of the investigation. The families have been informed about this development, and the police have assured them that they will provide updates on the progress of the investigation. The new investigative work will be carried out by an experienced team with a background in homicide investigations.
In June, Ms. Freemantle expressed her deepest sorrow and mentioned that she had no memory of the events that transpired after losing consciousness during the seizure. The families of Nuria and Selena expressed their disappointment when it was announced that Ms. Freemantle would not face charges, stating that justice had not been served.
The families have welcomed the decision to reopen the investigation, hoping that it will bring closure to the ongoing nightmare they have been living through. Selena’s mother, Jessie Deng, expressed her hope that the investigation would come to an end soon, bringing peace to all the families and Selena’s schoolmates. Nuria’s father, Saj Butt, emphasized the pain and suffering they have endured over the past 15 months and expressed hope that the new investigation would uncover the truth about the tragic incident.
The families are looking for closure and healing, knowing that nothing can bring their beloved daughters back. They are hopeful that the reopened investigation will shed light on what really happened on that fateful day, allowing them to begin the process of healing and moving forward.
