Questions & Answers

Context

The case involves the death of Belly Mujinga, a worker at Victoria Station, and an alleged assault that may have led to her contracting COVID-19. The British Transport Police requested a CPS opinion in June.

Question

When will the Crown Prosecution Service complete its review into the alleged assault on Belly Mujinga at Victoria Station? Are you able to provide any assurances that this case will be pursued further by both the CPS and BTP?

Answer from Suella Braverman (Attorney General)

I share the hon. Gentleman's commitment to justice for Belly Mujinga and her family here. The matter is still being considered, and the Crown Prosecution Service has requested that the British Transport police obtain further information on further lines of inquiry. As the review is still ongoing, I am unable to provide further information at this stage, but I am sure there will be an announcement in due course.

Answered

Not addressed: Unable to provide further details as the matter is ongoing and a request for more information from BTP remains unfulfilled by the CPS.
