Bunmi's body to be flown home

The body was found three days after Bunmi vanished

The body of drowned British schoolgirl Bunmi Shagaya is due to be flown back to the UK.

The 11-year-old drowned in a lake last week while on a school trip in northern France.

Her body, kept for post mortem examination by the French authorities, is expected to be flown back to London on Tuesday.

The autopsy confirmed that Bunmi had drowned in a lake near to Dieppe.

It gave the cause of death as accidental, saying there were no grounds for suspicion.

Bunmi: Not a strong swimmer

But the French authorities are expected to investigate whether the teachers in charge of the trip were negligent.

Magistrate Agnes Moinard said the prosecutors' office in Rouen would open an investigation in the coming days.

Bunmi disappeared a week ago at a lake at Cany-Barville, near Dieppe, while on a trip with 40 other pupils and six teachers from Hill Mead school, Lambeth, south London.

Police divers found her body floating in reeds on Thursday, after three days of searching.

The Shagaya family, from Lambeth, have been too upset to talk about the tragedy.

Lambeth Council has announced it is to commission an independent inquiry into the death.
