    This did get a bit off topic, didn't it.

    In any case, I've had a reply back from the FIU:

    "Thank you for your email. The investigation into the circumstances is complete and a report has been submitted to the PF. This is in keeping with standard procedure involving all incidents resulting in a fatality. Lothian and Borders Police cannot comment further on the likelihood of charges or otherwise as the PF will make this decision.

    I trust this information is of use,"

    So in other words, who knows!

    I find the comment on charging curious. Surely the police charge and the PF decides whether or not there is enough evidence to prosecute, or is my understanding completely cock-eyed?

    That was what I thought too. At least they replied though.

    The mother was just on Call Kaye saying that the driver said he didn't see him.

    Presume it's been said publicly before, though I've not seen/heard it.

    Also presume there was no prosecution.
