The tragic death of young Harry Dunn continues to grab headlines in Britain. In the latest development, Harry’s twin brother, Niall, has decried Anne Sacoolas’s state-sanctioned escape from Britain.
In an interview with Sky News, Niall said that Sacoolas’s claim of diplomatic immunity, and subsequent escape from Britain with the full knowledge of UK authorities, felt “like a punch in the face”.
Sacoolas, who is the wife of a US spy, killed 19-year old Harry Dunn on August 27 by crashing her car into his motorcycle outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire, which houses a US Signals Intelligence spy base.
According to a Northamptonshire Police statement after the crash, Sacoolas’s car “was being driven on the wrong side of the road”.
Based on the findings of the Police, at minimum Sacoolas should have been charged with causing death by dangerous driving. The offence can carry a prison sentence of up to fourteen years.
Niall told Sky News: “I want the truth down to every single second to what’s happened, who has made the decisions, who allowed her to do this, whether it was one person at the top or 100 people down the whole line who decided this was OK”.
Niall’s heart-wrenching interview comes in the wake of the Dunn family’s decision to take legal action against the Foreign and Commonwealth Office over its decision to enable Sacoolas’s escape from justice under the guise of diplomatic immunity.
