MP welcomes IPCC investigation into nightclub deaths

Brian Binley MP for Northampton South has welcomed the decision by the Independent Police Complaints Commission to undertake an independent investigation into the deaths of two students at the Lava & Ignite Nightclub in Northampton.

Northamptonshire Police referred the events at Lava & Ignite which took place on the 18th and 19th October to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, consequent on the tragic death of Nabila Nanfuka.

Since then, Laurene-Danielle Jackson has also tragically died as a result of her injuries sustained at the nightclub in the early hours of the 19th October.

Brian said: “I am pleased to hear that the Independent Police Complaints Commission have agreed to investigate the tragic events of that evening further- not least because it gives some closure to the families and friends of the two young women who lost their lives that night.”

“I have called for an open inquiry into the events that took place that night and I will continue to monitor the progress that is made as a result of the IPCC’s independent investigation closely.”
