Ex-‘X Factor’ Singer Charged With Murder After Soho Club Crash Kills Influencer

Prosecutors now pursue a murder case that is scheduled at the Old Bailey on May 19.

Overview

  • Police say a black Mercedes hit several people outside the Inca nightclub on April 19th in Soho, leaving influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska critically injured.
  • Zakrzewska died in hospital six days later, and prosecutors replaced an attempted murder count with a murder charge against 29-year-old Gabrielle Precious Carrington.
  • A prosecutor said CCTV shows Carrington getting into the car and driving toward Zakrzewska, in a key claim about intent in the case.
  • Police report Carrington’s blood alcohol level was about 1.22‰, which they say was close to twice the legal limit for driving in the UK.
  • Three other people were injured, including a 58-year-old man with life-changing injuries, and detectives have urged the public not to share graphic videos or speculate about a motive.
