Harry Dunn's 'cowardly' killer Anne Sacoolas refuses to answer questions after ... trends now
'Have a nice day' - these were the only words of comfort the 'cowardly' US diplomat responsible for the death of teenager Harry Dunn had for his heartbroken family.
US citizen Anne Sacoolas, 45, was yesterday sentenced at the Old Bailey to eight months in prison suspended for 12 months for causing the death of Mr Dunn on August 27, 2019.
Following the crash outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire, Harry was flung from his motorcycle as Sacoolas' Volvo XC90 burst into flames. He later died in hospital.
But Sacoolas failed to appear at the Old Bailey to be sentenced yesterday, instead taking the advice of a government employer not to attend court.
Now footage has emerged of the moment former CIA operative Sacoolas was filmed scurrying away from a reporter as she refused to answer why she didn't attend her court hearing on Wednesday.

Asked by a Sky New reporter James Matthews ‘what words do you have for Harry Dunn’s family today?’, Sacoolas simply replied: ‘Have a nice day.’
‘Have you compounded their grief by delaying justice for three years?’ continues the reporter as Sacoolas, wearing a navy blue baseball cap, face mask and white shirt, remains silent and waits for a lift.
Then an aide walking with the convicted criminal attempts to block Sky’s camera from filming, placing a folder up in front of it.
‘Why didn’t you go to attend court in the UK,’ continues Mr Matthews, who is Sky's US correspondent. Sacoolas then scurries into a lift, saying 'thank you’.
Another woman then tells the Sky News team: ‘You are not getting in this elevator.’
Continuing with his questioning, Mr Matthews asks: ‘Mrs Sacoolas, why did the Harry Dunn family have to wait for three years to see you receive justice today? What words do you have for Harry Dunn’s family?’
