PM backs virtual trial for Harry Dunn crash suspect

- By JOSH PAYNE

Boris Johnson has signalled his backing for a virtual criminal trial involving a woman accused of killing t eenage motorcycli­st Harry Dunn outside a military base.

The Prime Minister said he would “support anything” that brings both justice and closure for Mr Dunn’s family.

The 19- year- old’s mother, Charlotte Charles, said the f amily were “ver y encouraged” by Mr Johnson’s comments.

Mr Dunn was killed when his motorbike was in collision with a car outside RAF Croughton in Northampto­nshire on 27 August, 2019. Anne

Sacoolas, 43, the wife of a US intelligen­ce official, claimed diplomatic immunity following the crash and returned to her home country, sparking internatio­nal controvers­y.

An extraditio­n request submitted by the Home Office was rejected by the US.
