Police Reopen Investigation Into Wimbledon School Crash Which Killed Two 8-Year-Old Girls

The Metropolitan Police have reopened an investigation into a car crash at a school in Wimbledon last year which killed two 8-year-old girls, Selena Lau and Nuria Sajjad.
Scotland Yard said in a statement on Thursday that the review had identified “a number of lines of inquiry that require further examination and, as such, the investigation will now be reopened.”
The force continued: “The families have been updated with this development and we will continue to meet with them to provide updates on the investigation as it progresses. We know this has been and remains a really difficult time for them. We believe this further investigative work will address all questions raised by the families affected.
Emergency services at the time said that 16 people were treated at the scene for their injuries, including adults and a seven-month-old, with 10 later taken to hospital.
In a statement, Nuria Sajjad’s parents, Sajjad Butt and Smera Chohan, and Selena Lau’s parents, Franky Lau and Jessie Deng, said: “Justice has neither been done, nor has been seen to be done today. Nuria and Selena deserved better.”
On July 4, nearly a year to the day the children died, the Met launched its internal investigation.
In a statement from June, Freemantle had said: “I can only express my deepest sorrow for the families who have suffered such dreadful loss and injury. As a mother, I understand there can be no words that adequately express the pain and loss resulting from what happened in those horrendous moments while I was unconscious.”
