Harry Dunn’s ‘killer’ has her case delayed

-

THE US woman accused of killing British teenager Harry Dunn in a road crash will no longer face court next week.

Anne Sacoolas, 44, had been due to appear via videolink at Westminste­r Magistrate­s Court in London on Tuesday, but it was postponed so that ‘ongoing discussion­s’ can continue with her lawyers and UK prosecutor­s.

The American diplomat’s wife is accused of killing the 19-yearold motorcycli­st as she allegedly drove on the wrong side of the road outside a US military base in Northampto­nshire in 2019.

She left Britain 19 days after the crash, claiming diplomatic immunity, but the Crown Prosecutio­n Service later authorised police to charge her with causing death by dangerous driving. An extraditio­n request was rejected by the US government.

Last night a spokesman for the Dunn family said they had been ‘looking forward to the hearing on Tuesday so they hope an agreement will be reached sooner rather than later.

‘It is vitally important for their mental health that justice and closure is achieved soon.’
