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.

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”.
