Caroline Flack's mother has rejected an apology from the Metropolitan Police over how her daughter's case was handled. The Love Island presenter took her own life in February 2020 while awaiting trial for assault.
It followed an incident between Flack, 40, and her then-boyfriend, tennis player Lewis Burton, at her London flat in 2019. Police found Flack covered with blood when they arrived, and they reported that she admitted that she had struck Mr Burton, leaving him with a head wound.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) initially decided that only a caution should be issued. However, this was appealed by a senior Met officer and resulted instead in a charge of assault by beating.
