Philosophy student jailed for 18 years for running over her fiance in car
Alice Wood, 24, murdered Ryan Watson near their Cheshire home after she ‘lost her temper’A philosophy student who killed her fiance when she ran over him with her car after she “lost her temper” has been sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 18 years.
Alice Wood, 24, was found guilty of the murder of her 24-year-old fiance Ryan Watson at about 11.30pm on 6 May 2022 when she ran over him near their Cheshire home after an argument.
Wood had denied murder and instead pleaded guilty to manslaughter, claiming the incident was a “tragic accident” and she did not realise he was trapped underneath her car when she drove 158 metres up a road.
A jury rejected her account and unanimously found her guilty of murder last month.
