Foxwell asked that the public refrain from sharing “graphic footage” of the incident that led to Zakrzewska’s fatal injuries, stating that “the circulation of such material could also undermine our ongoing criminal investigation.”
MPS further said that on April 20 the suspect, Gabrielle Carrington, known online as RielleUK — was charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, dangerous driving and drunk driving in relation to the incident.
The attempted murder charge will now be amended to murder as a result of Zakrzewska’s death.
Both Zakrzewska and Carrington are known online for sharing lifestyle and fashion content, including their international travels.
“A 58-year-old man also suffered life-changing injuries following the incident,” MPS added.
