America REFUSES to hand over diplomat’s wife Anne Sacoolas who is accused of killing 19-year-old British biker Harry Dunn in crash near US airbase in Northamptonshire
America has refused to hand over a diplomat’s wife who is accused of killing a 19-year-old British biker in a crash near a US airbase.
Mr Dunn was killed in a head-on collision with a car on August 27 last year near RAF Croughton, in Northamptonshire.
Anne Sacoolas, 42, the wife of a US intelligence official, is believed to have been driving on the wrong side of the road and was charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
But she claimed diplomatic immunity after the alleged collision, fled to her home country and has refused to return to face justice despite pleas from Harry’s family.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has turned down the extradition request for US citizen Anne Sacoolas, who was charged with causing the death of teenage motorcyclist Harry Dunn by dangerous driving, family spokesman Radd Seiger said.
