Northamptonshire Police officers are due to leave for the US to interview Mrs Sacoolas about the crash on her request after she left the country claiming diplomatic immunity.

Chief Constable Nick Adderley defended his officer's conduct throughout the investigation despite admitting to delaying telling the family the main suspect had fled.

Both the UK and US governments agree that Mrs Sacoolas no longer has diplomatic immunity, while how it applies to RAF Croughton is due to be reviewed.
