Harry Dunn's parents 'angry' after meeting with Dominic Rabb over US immunity battle

The grieving parents of a British teenager killed in a motorbike crash have been left "frustrated and angry" after a meeting with Foreign Secretary Dominic Rabb.

Harry Dunn's parents want Anne Sacoolas to return to the UK to talk to them after she flew to the US following his death.

Harry's parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn yesterday pleaded with Ms Sacoolas to be "humane and kind" and return to the UK after fleeing the country and claiming diplomatic immunity.

Harry Dunn, 19, tragically died in a head on collision with a car close to RAF Croughton, an American spy base in Northamptonshire, back in August.

Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a US diplomat, is suspected to have pulled out onto the wrong side of the road during the fatal accident.

Speaking after the 45 minute-long meeting, a family spokesman told Sky News : "To say we are disappointed with the outcome of the meeting would be an understatement."

The teen's death has seen a furious row erupt between the US and UK, with Mr Raab having called US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and urged the American government to "do the right thing by Harry Dunn's family".
