Harry Dunn: Killed teenager’s family ‘to make feelings known’ to Trump during UK visit

Queen to host US president ahead of Nato summit

The family of Harry Dunn say they will “make their feelings known” to Donald Trump as the president arrives in the UK ahead of a Nato summit.

The 19-year-old was killed outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire on August 27 after his motorbike collided with a car outside.

Anne Sacoolas, the 42-year-old motorist allegedly responsible for the crash, was allowed to return to the US after claiming diplomatic immunity.

Mr Dunn’s family plan to congregate outside Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening to make their “presence known” as the Queen hosts Mr Trump and other world leaders.

The family’s spokesman Radd Seiger said: “We have called for a meeting with Boris Johnson to press the family’s case for justice.

“The political leaders in the UK have made several public statements that they are doing all they can for Harry’s family. We have seen not a shred of evidence of that.

“Actions speak louder than words. We expect Mr Johnson to demand Anne Sacoolas’s return to the UK in his bilateral meeting with president Trump this week, to also call for that publicly, and then to meet with us to confirm that he has done so.

“Harry’s family, friends and supporters and people right around the country will not stand for it and we will be congregating outside Buckingham Palace in the early evening as the leaders arrive to make our feelings and presence known and to mingle with like-minded people who, like us, believe in right versus wrong.”

Harry’s family have now said they expect the prime minister to demand Ms Sacoolas’s return, to call for it publicly, and then meet the family to confirm he has spoken to Mr Trump about the issue.

It is understood that Harry’s parents have also expressed their “misery” to the Crown Prosecution Service over the time they have taken in deciding whether or not to charge the suspect in the case.

The motorcyclist’s parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, have sent messages to a senior Crown prosecutor, in which Harry’s mother spoke of “utterly shattered heart”.

Mr Dunn Sr also called on the CPS to “help us start our grieving process”, over a month on from the police’s initial handover of the completed file of evidence.

Speaking of the CPS’s charging decision, Mr Seiger said: “For reasons unbeknown to the family, the CPS continue to delay authorising a charge. That delay must come to an end.

“There is no good reason for it that we are aware of.”
