  • Eleven police officers are being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over their handling of the initial inquiry into a fatal school crash.
  • The crash, which occurred in July 2023 at The Study Prep school in Wimbledon, tragically killed eight-year-old girls Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau.
  • The IOPC's investigation follows complaints from the victims' families, who have consistently stated their belief that the initial Metropolitan Police inquiry was flawed.
  • Allegations include concerns about the investigation's standard, management, team conduct, engagement with victims, provision of false information and potential racial bias in officers' treatment of those affected.
  • Five officers, including a commander and a former detective inspector, have been served gross misconduct notices, with two others facing misconduct notices, as the investigation continues.
