Argument escalated

Fiancé run over: Long prison sentence for British woman

A 24-year-old woman in the UK has been jailed for many years for deliberately running over her fiancé. A court in the western English city of Chester sentenced the woman to life imprisonment for murder on Friday. 

She will not be released for at least 18 years. The student lost her temper over an argument and misused her vehicle as a weapon, said prosecutor Andrew Ford.

Dragged 160 meters
The couple had been returning home from a party in May 2022 when the woman got into her car and steered into her boyfriend. He got back up, but his partner ran him over again. The 24-year-old ended up under the vehicle and was dragged another 160 meters.

The intoxicated perpetrator contacted neighbors, who called an ambulance. However, the emergency doctor was only able to determine that the man had died.
