HARRY DUNN: CHIEF CONSTABLE DEMANDS SUSPECT’S RETURN TO UK

BBC News reports a chief constable has written to the US Embassy in London demanding the return of an American diplomat’s wife who is a suspect in a fatal crash inquiry. 19-year-old Harry Dunn died after his motorbike collided with a car in Northamptonshire on 27 August. Anne Sacoolas left the UK despite telling police she did not plan to. Police have urged the embassy to waive her diplomatic immunity. Harry’s mother, Charlottle Charles said leaving the country was “such a dishonourable thing to do” and urged Ms Sacoolas to “come back.” She added: “We are not out to get her put behind bars. If that’s what the justice system ends up doing then we can’t stop that but we’re not out to do that, we’re out to try and get some peace for ourselves.”
