Cambridge family's fight for justice after daughter killed in 'hit and run' in Qatar

  • Raffy's mother Jo Sullivan spoke to ITV News Anglia's Elodie Harper

The family of a woman from Cambridge who was killed in a hit and run in Qatar have launched a campaign to fight for justice.

The driver of the car was given a two month jail sentence, but the family of 21-year old Raffy Tsakanika don't believe he's spent any time behind bars.

The man who killed Raffy in a high speed hit and run in Qatar two years ago only got a two month jail sentence. In the UK he could have got up to fourteen years.

Raffy's mother Jo wants the case reopened. She believes the sentence was so light because Raffy was British.

The family is now calling for the travel advice for Qatar to be changed.

The foreign office have requested a meeting with Qatari authorities to discuss Raffy's death. Her family say they won't rest until she gets justice.
