She appeared before Northampton Magistrates Court on Saturday October 22, 2022 charged with conspiracy to murder and was remanded in custody until her Crown Court hearing set for December 21, 2022, which was later cancelled.
The Crown Prosecution Service revealed in February that the case against Florea had been discontinued due to a lack of evidence.
Detectives also arrested a 30-year-old man in Kent, on Monday October 24, 2022 in connection with the incident. Northamptonshire Police said on February 6, 2023 that he had been released with no further action.
