Caroline Flack's mum has spoken out on the Met Police's apology following the death of the Love Island star, saying that she does not accept the apology.
Christine Flack expressed her belief that her daughter, who tragically took her own life in 2020 while facing an assault charge, would still be alive today if her case had been handled differently by the Met. Caroline, 40, faced prosecution for assaulting her then-boyfriend Lewis Burton, with a coroner later ruling that she had taken her own life because she feared the media attention surrounding her trial.
Following the presenter's arrest, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) initially decided she receive a caution - a decision that was appealed by a senior Met officer and resulted in Caroline facing a charge of assault by beating. The Met was criticised for its handling of the case, and has since apologised for not recording the reason why the star had been charged, The Mirror reports.
