Dunn family withdraw US sue claim

-

The family of Harry Dunn have withdrawn their intention to sue the US government in a bid to find a “resolution to the impasse”.

Mr Dunn’s parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, pre - viously said they would pursue a claim against President Donald Trump’s administra­tion for its handling of their son’s case.

But Mrs Charles has said the family “can now see that the US government are working towards” suspect Anne Sacoolas facing the UK justice system.

The US State Department recently said it was looking for a “reasonable resolution” after news emerged the UK Attorney General was considerin­g the possibilit­y of a virtual trial or a trial in Sacoolas’s absence.

The Dunn family said they hoped their decision to no longer pursue a claim would encourage them to meet with the family.
