An American 'spy' killed a British teenager while driving on the wrong side of the road. She's finally faced justice

On a summer's day in 2019, Harry Dunn was riding his motorcycle near an army base used by US troops in Northamptonshire, England, when he was hit and killed by an American '"spy" driving on the wrong side of the road. 

His family described the 19-year-old as "bubbly and outgoing" with a passion for riding motorbikes. He'd ridden more than 80,000 kilometres before his death.

The driver, 45-year-old Anne Sacoolas, fled the United Kingdom on a private plane 19 days later, shielded by diplomatic immunity asserted on her behalf by the United States government as the "wife of a diplomat".
