A man has pleaded not guilty to the murder of a woman who died after being hit by a car.
Rebecca Steer, 22, died shortly after she and a second pedestrian were struck by a car after it mounted the kerb outside the Grill Out takeaway in Oswestry in Shropshire at 2.50am on Sunday, October 9. Stephen McHugh will now face trial next year, charged with murdering Rebecca Steer, a Liverpool John Moores University student, and causing grievous bodily with intent to a man who was injured in the same incident.
In a tribute, her family described her as "the most loving, talented and kind hearted person you could ever wish to know". They said: "We are all completely devastated by the loss of our beautiful girl Rebecca. She always had a smile and a laugh that made everybody love her.
