Harry Dunn suspect's bid to dismiss US civil claim denied as trial nears

Virginia judge gives relatives go ahead for civil case against both Anne Sacoolas and her husband

Harry Dunn's family have been given the go-ahead to proceed with a civil claim for damages in the US against both the teenager's alleged killer and her husband.

A judge's ruling in the Alexandria district court in Virginia has taken the Dunn family a step closer to a legal showdown with suspect Anne Sacoolas, 18 months on from the 19-year-old's death in the UK.
