It happened on the last day of term while kids and parents celebrated on the lawn. Two eight-year-old girls, Selena Lau and Nurya Sajad, were killed, and several others suffered serious injuries. Others hit Fremantle with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and seven counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. At first, back in June 2024, police cleared her after their initial probe. They said she suffered an undiagnosed epileptic seizure and had no memory of the crash. She apologized deeply, but that didn't sit right with the families. The girls' parents called the first investigation flawed and pushed hard for a second look. They just wanted real answers about why their daughters died. The Metropolitan Police reopened the case later that year, digging into new leads.
