Back to EpisodesPolice Investigated for Mishandling Fatal School Crash
Description
Eleven Metropolitan Police officers face investigation over their handling of a fatal car crash case at a Wimbledon school in July 2023. The driver, Claire Freemantle, initially avoided charges due to an undiagnosed epileptic seizure, but the case was reopened last October. Families of the two eight-year-old girls who lost their lives are outraged, accusing police of mishandling the case and leaving them in limbo for three years. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is examining gross misconduct claims against four serving officers and two others, alleging false information and potential racial bias. The Metropolitan Police supports the independent probe, aiming for closure for the girls families.
