'I had a piercing call from my wife. "Ellie's dead. Come home".' Father of rape claim girl who committed suicide reveals harrowing pain her death has brought... as he lays blame squarely with the CPS
Eleanor de Freitas (pictured left and right) took her life on April 7, at the age of 22, three days before she was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court in London in a case supported by the Crown Prosecution Service. The 23-year-old was charged with perverting the course of justice after the man who allegedly attacked her spent £200,000 on bringing a private prosecution to clear his name. In this interview, raw with emotion, her father David (inset) talks about his beloved daughter as he blames the CPS for her death.
