The Metropolitan Police announced on Thursday that they are revisiting their investigation into a tragic car crash that resulted in the deaths of two eight-year-old girls, Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, at Study Prep school in Wimbledon on July 6 last year, the final day of the summer term.
The force decided to conduct a review following concerns expressed by the families of the two girls, along with other affected parties. According to the families, the initial investigation into the accident was not sufficiently thorough. The car crash involved a 4×4 vehicle driven by Claire Freemantle, who reportedly suffered an epileptic seizure before the incident.
The police assure that their initial examination was comprehensive, with officers working “tirelessly through every detail of the incident” to ensure a complete and thorough investigation.
In her own statement, Ms. Freemantle expressed her “deepest sorrow” over the incident and explained that she had lost consciousness during the event, leaving her with “no recollection of what took place.”
