Former “X Factor” finalist Gabrielle Carrington denies charges connected to the death of social media influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska outside a nightclub in Soho, London. Multiple outlets report that Carrington, 29, was accused of striking Zakrzewska with a car near the Inca nightclub (also referred to as the Inca/Klaudiaglam incident location) on Argyll Street. The alleged incident occurred in the early hours of April 19, with some reports citing a time of about 4:30am.
Carrington appears in court and enters pleas of not guilty. BBC News and other outlets describe her denial of murder and also a charge of grievous bodily harm (GBH) or causing bodily harm to a security guard. Times of India further reports that she denies causing bodily harm to a guard.
The cases are heard via video link from prison. According to Times of India, her trial is scheduled to begin in January 2027. Other outlets focus on the denial of murder and the alleged road-incident circumstances outside the nightclub.
