Social media influencer dies six days after central London crash
A woman from Manchester has had an attempted murder charge changed to murder
A social media influencer has died six days after a car hit her and other pedestrians outside a nightclub near Oxford Circus in central London.
Klaudia Zakrzewska, 32, from Essex, was injured in Argyll Street, Soho, at around 4.30am on Sunday April 19 and was pronounced dead on Saturday.
A 58-year-old man suffered life-changing injuries in the incident.
Former X Factor finalist Gabrielle Carrington, who's 29 and from Manchester, appeared in court on Tuesday accused of trying to kill Ms Zakrzewska, a TikTok and Instagram influencer known by the name of Klaudiaglam, outside the Inca nightclub.
She's had an attempted murder charge changed to murder - and is also accused of dangerous driving, being nearly twice the drink-drive limit and causing injuries to two other people – a third woman and a security guard – who were also hit by her Mercedes.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell from the Metropolitan Police, who is leading the investigation, said: “We would like to express our deepest sympathies to Klaudia’s family and friends in light of this tragic update.
“Our thoughts are also with everyone impacted by this incident.
“We recognise that this case has generated significant interest and discussion on social media; however, we would urge the public to refrain from further speculation.”
