Ms Mwangi faced a trial for actions in a hit-and-run which killed the 14-year-old boy who on his way to school on November 25, 2022.

But the three charges against Mwangi were officially dropped at Swindon Crown Court on Monday, November 18 after she pleaded not guilty to careless driving, causing death by driving while unlicenced and causing death by driving while uninsured.

Later that day, police were called to the property believed to be Mwangi’s and people were reportedly trying to get into the house.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “We attended an address in Redhouse, Swindon yesterday (18/11) following reports of a minor disturbance 

“Words of advice were issued and no arrests were made.”

Neighbours said there has been a police presence, usually two vehicles, in the Redhouse area since Friday, including one parked directly outside of the property and another vehicle around the corner.

One resident also said they had seen a police car coming back to the area every half an hour to an hour since Friday, but that police presence seemed to be reduced by Tuesday morning.

A police car was briefly seen in the area around Tuesday lunchtime which seemed to be escorting a vehicle to the property, but left shortly after.

Other neighbours said they did not notice a disturbance on Monday, but they had noticed a new CCTV camera had been installed on a roundabout near Eastbury Way, which they believe to be linked to the incident.

Despite other media reports, there appears to be no damage to the home of Ms Mwangi.
