Police are renewing an appeal for information following a fatal road traffic collision that occurred in Brandon just over one year ago.

Officers were called at around 5.40pm on Saturday 15 April 2023, to reports of a two-vehicle collision on the B1106 involving a Nissan Note and a Jeep Cherokee.

The driver and passenger in the Nissan sadly died at the scene.

They were subsequently identified as husband and wife Dilipan Sebastiampillai (aged 43) and Dorota Sebastiampillai (aged 41), from the London Borough of Haringey.

The driver of the Jeep was taken to West Suffolk Hospital for treatment to minor injuries.

A 35-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving on Thursday 20 April last year and questioned at Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre. She currently remains on police bail pending further enquiries.

Officers would like to hear from any potential witnesses to the collision who have not already spoken to police.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Joint Norfolk & Suffolk Serious Collision Investigation Unit, quoting reference: 37/21767/23.
