An American 'spy' killed a British teenager while driving on the wrong side of the road. She's finally faced justice
On a summer's day in 2019, Harry Dunn was riding his motorcycle near an army base used by US troops in Northamptonshire, England, when he was hit and killed by an American '"spy" driving on the wrong side of the road.
His family described the 19-year-old as "bubbly and outgoing" with a passion for riding motorbikes. He'd ridden more than 80,000 kilometres before his death.
The driver, 45-year-old Anne Sacoolas, fled the United Kingdom on a private plane 19 days later, shielded by diplomatic immunity asserted on her behalf by the United States government as the "wife of a diplomat".
Harry's death started a three-year tug of war between the US and the UK, as his parents followed their pursuit of justice to the White House.
Sacoolas has never returned to the UK and appeared via video link at the Old Bailey on Thursday (local time) for her sentencing after the US government advised her not to travel to attend in person.
