Wimbledon school crash probe

The police watchdog has launched an investigation into 11 Metropolitan Police officers over their handling of an inquiry into a fatal road crash at a Wimbledon school.

The probe follows allegations that the race of the victims' families may have influenced the conduct of officers after the deaths of two eight-year-old girls.

Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau died in July 2023 when a Land Rover crashed into a tea party at The Study Prep school.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct is examining whether officers provided 'false and misleading information' and if there was a failure to properly investigate the incident.

Families of the victims have called for accountability and expressed concerns about a potential miscarriage of justice.
