"Claire Freemantle drove the Land Rover that went through the railings of The Study Prep school in Wimbledon as pupils and their parents were celebrating the last day of term on the lawn."
"Freemantle was charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and seven offences of causing serious injury by dangerous driving."
"The parents of the girls complained that the Met Police had carried out a 'flawed investigation' and later in 2024 the force reopened its investigation."
"Nearly three years after their children were killed, the parents of the girls will be able to see the woman who drove the car in court."
Claire Freemantle drove a Land Rover that crashed into The Study Prep school in Wimbledon, killing two eight-year-old girls, Selena Lau and Nuria Sajjad. Freemantle has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and seven counts of causing serious injury. Initially, she faced no charges due to an undiagnosed epileptic seizure. The girls' parents criticized the Metropolitan Police's investigation, leading to a reopened inquiry. Freemantle was re-arrested in January 2025, and the IOPC is investigating the police's handling of the case.
