The parents of 12-year-old Keaton Slater, who was killed by a speeding driver in Coventry, have successfully campaigned for justice over two years. Aleksanders Dolars, the driver who fled to Latvia, was extradited and sentenced to over nine years in prison after a lengthy legal battle involving both UK and Latvian authorities.
Following Keaton's tragic death, his family faced numerous challenges in bringing Dolars back to the UK due to the lack of an extradition treaty post-Brexit. Their persistent efforts, including community support and political advocacy, ultimately led to a change in Latvian law regarding extradition cases, allowing Dolars to be prosecuted in the UK.
