In a statement, the girls’ parents said they were one step closer to finding out why their children died.
“On 6 July 2023, our lives were torn apart by an unthinkable tragedy. For almost three years, we have endured unimaginable pain alongside all those affected. We are still living with the consequences.
“In June 2024, we rejected the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision to take no further action because we did not believe that decision had been made on the full facts. We were right to challenge that decision.
“The Metropolitan Police Specialist Crime Review Group’s findings, the reopening of the investigation, and the need to obtain extensive new evidence over the last two years, have all vindicated our position. From the very beginning, we have demanded one thing: the truth about why our daughters were killed.
“We have lived every day since then in torment — without peace, without answers, and without accountability. Despite overwhelming grief, we have been forced to fight for the most basic clarity about what happened.
“With the decision to charge Freemantle, the case will now proceed to trial. We are one step closer to understanding why Nuria and Selena were killed and why so many others were harmed.”
