Overview
- Prosecutors say Carrington drove onto the pavement outside the Inca nightclub in Soho, struck and dragged Klaudia Zakrzewska, and later hit a security guard; footage of the incident circulated online.
- Zakrzewska died in hospital on April 25, 2026, and the Crown upgraded the original attempted‑murder charge to murder following her death.
- Carrington appeared by videolink from Bronzefield prison on Monday and pleaded not guilty to murder and to causing grievous bodily harm with intent to security guard Anoush Chyche.
- Court papers record a post‑incident breath result of 61 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath, above the UK limit of 35, but she was not asked to plead to the driving‑with‑excess‑alcohol charge at the hearing.
- She represented herself at the short plea hearing, was remanded in custody, and has pre‑trial hearings set for August 11 and October 9 ahead of the January 5, 2027 Old Bailey trial.
