Murder accused X Factor singer gets legal deadline

Gabrielle Carrington, a former X Factor contestant accused of murdering Klaudia Zakrzewska by running her over with a car in central London, has been given until August 17 to select her legal representative. Carrington, 29, denies the charge, which alleges that she allowed a woman to enter her vehicle before it moved forward and struck Zakrzewska, 32, outside the Inca nightclub in Soho on April 19. Zakrzewska succumbed to her injuries six days later. Carrington, from Manchester, appeared at the Old Bailey but did not have legal representation during the hearing and stated it would be 'crazy' to represent herself.
