"The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said four serving officers and one former detective constable were being investigated for possible gross misconduct."
"The families told the BBC in a statement that they were 'encouraged' that the IOPC had opened an inquiry. 'We have always sought the truth, and will continue to champion the pursuit of complete clarity on the events of that devastating day and subsequent actions taken by the Metropolitan Police.'"
"The IOPC began its investigation in August 2025. The watchdog said its inquiry would look at 'allegations that Met officers provided false and misleading information to those affected and whether the officers' treatment of those affected was influenced by their race.'"
The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating eleven Metropolitan Police officers for possible gross misconduct related to a crash that killed two schoolgirls, Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, in July 2023. The crash involved a Land Rover driven by Claire Freemantle, who was not charged due to an undiagnosed epileptic seizure. Families of the victims believe the investigation was flawed and are seeking clarity. The IOPC's inquiry will examine allegations of misleading information and the treatment of victims, as well as the overall investigation's management and conduct.
