Influencer’s Death Leads to Murder Charge for Former X Factor Finalist

Police warn that sharing graphic clips could harm the case heading to the Old Bailey.

Overview

  • Klaudia Zakrzewska, 32, died Saturday, six days after a car hit her outside the Inca nightclub on Argyll Street in Soho.
  • Police said the attempted murder count against Gabrielle Carrington, 29, has been upgraded to murder, and she remains in custody for a May 19 Old Bailey hearing.
  • The crash on April 19 struck several people, leaving a 58-year-old security guard with life-changing injuries and a second woman with a minor wrist injury.
  • Investigators cite CCTV that shows the driver re-entering a Mercedes and mounting the pavement, with prosecutors also alleging she was nearly twice the drink-drive limit.
  • Zakrzewska’s mother posted a tribute and said donations topping £26,000 would fund her funeral and legal help, and police urged people not to share graphic footage that could prejudice proceedings.
