A father who twice ran over his daughter’s body with his car, crushing her to death while “totally consumed with anger”, has been found guilty of her murder. Nigel Malt, 44, ran over 19-year-old Lauren Malt outside the home in West Winch, Norfolk, where she lived with her mother and younger siblings on January 23 this year.
Afterwards he put her body into his passenger seat and drove her to hospital in King’s Lynn where she was pronounced dead, Norwich Crown Court heard. Malt’s black Mercedes C200 involved in the collision was seized at the hospital and taken for examination by crime scene investigators.
Malt, who was estranged from his wife and children, was living separately at a different address in Lynn Road, King’s Lynn. He denied his daughter’s murder, claiming it was an accident saying he thought he had hit a wheelie bin.
