The parents of a public schoolboy who died after plunging into the Thames from a balcony opposite the MI6 HQ have accused the Met Police of 'victim blaming' and failing to properly investigate the circumstances of their son's death.

Zac Brettler, 19, plummeted from a luxury Thames-side apartment development in 2019 - with his fall captured on the MI6 building's CCTV across the river.

The teenager had become enamoured with wealth during his time at Mill Hill School in north London, an exclusive boarding school where many pupils were the children of oligarchs.
