Jane Coates is calling on UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband to advocate for a new investigation into the death of her daughter, Lucy Harrison, who was shot by her father in Texas. A coroner ruled that Harrison was unlawfully killed, highlighting concerns over the initial police inquiry that led to no charges against the father.

Coates expressed disappointment with the previous government's response and hopes for renewed support under the new administration. UK politicians are also urging Miliband to take action to ensure justice for Lucy's family.

Watch for Ed Miliband's response as pressure mounts for a renewed investigation into Lucy Harrison's death. The UK government’s diplomatic efforts could influence US authorities to reconsider the case, potentially leading to accountability for the family.
