Speaking to the Sun friends of Katie’s told of how she is “mentally fragile” and that she “cannot face” appearing in court.

“She (Katie) absolutely stands by her account of events of that night given to police, but upon reflection isn’t sure she’s mentally strong enough to go through yet another court appearance,” said Katie’s friend.

“She doesn’t want to be dragged through the mill, and her private life scrutinised by all and sundry. Katie doesn’t see any other way out.”

Police are still investigating the incident and a police spokesman explained that: “We have a duty of care to gather all evidence relating to this case and our inquiries continue.”
