The driver of a car that crashed into a school tea party, killing two eight-year-old girls, has been released on bail pending further investigations.

Claire Freemantle, 48, was rearrested on Tuesday on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

She was arrested for a second time after the Met Police said it reviewed its investigation following the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) decision last June not to charge Ms Freemantle.

She is due to report to a police station in late April.

Urging witnesses to come forward on Tuesday, the Met said a specialist crime review group had “identified lines of inquiry which required further examination”.

Det Supt Basford added: “Our main priority is to ensure the lines of inquiry identified by the review are progressed.

“I would urge people to avoid speculation.”

The girls’ parents have welcomed the reopening of the investigation and said it should be carried out “in the pursuit of truth and the full facts”.

Ms Freemantle previously expressed her “deepest sorrow” and said she had “no recollection of what took place” after the deaths of Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau in Wimbledon, south-west London, on 6 July 2023.

She was first arrested at the scene of the crash at The Study Preparatory School.

Following an investigation, the CPS said Ms Freemantle had suffered an epileptic seizure behind the wheel, which caused her to lose control of the vehicle that then drove into the school.

As a result this meant she would not be charged, it said.

At the time, her solicitor said her epilepsy had “never previously manifested itself” and Ms Freemantle “had always enjoyed good health”.
