I remember starting a thread on this some time ago and I think the general conclusion was that epilepsy (undiagnised) would in all likelihood be the reason for this tragedy given the cirumstances. there was a long discussion about the nature of this consition.

There was also the feeling that the parents should grieve and let go after this tragedy yet it appears the thing has escalated to involve racism and questioning of the investigation resulting to my mind the police being pressured to make another arrest simply because the senior met didn't like the optics of this rather than material change in circusrance.

Are those investigating officers being thrown.under the bus because the met politically would like to see something done here with a rich white woman being talked when there seems to be no evidence at all she didn't have a seizure? If it realistically can't be proven a seizure didn't occur aren't we headed for a painful trial for the parents where they gain will feel justice won't be done???

Police 'biased towards driver' who killed two girls, relatives claim

It has now emerged that the families of both girls and other surviving victims have complained to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) alleging 'unconscious bias'.

Hi all.

A quick note from us – as this is now an active case, we need everyone to be mindful that it’s subject to contempt of court rules.

That means no speculation about motives, background, or guilt, and no posting anything that could prejudice ongoing proceedings. We know people will want to discuss developments, but please stick to what’s been officially reported and avoid adding your own theories or assumptions.

If you’re not sure what’s appropriate, it’s safest to err on the side of caution.

Thanks for your understanding.
