A theology and ethics student has been found guilty of murdering her fiancé by deliberately mowing him down in her car after they rowed when she accused him of flirting with another woman at a party.

    Alice Wood, 23, used her Ford Fiesta as a weapon when she ploughed into Ryan Watson near the couple’s home in Cheshire in May last year.

    Mr Watson, 24, was dragged more than 500 feet underneath the car and died as a result of his injuries.

    1. Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned. She ought not be charged with murder. I'd say laws need to be changed in cases such as this. Women see relationships very differently from men.

    2. i mean, she tried running bro over multiple times and he still kept getting near the vehicle. Not to put the blame on my guy at all, but my man, a shake move maybe an agile maneuver to the left or right?

    3. Tragic, the cursed scourge of alchohol on young beautiful minds.. alchohol makes intelligent people stupid..had the young lass been sober a different outcome would have ensued…instead of reading philosophie books, hopefully she will use her time to find God and repent.. this will allow her good outcomes in the coming years..maybe even an early parole.. in my opinion she desrves a second chance…

    4. And our beloved government thinks we don't need a minister for men's rights. It's because this will never be recorded as an act of gender-based violence. They do not believe violence from women is a problem, despite 50% of all domestic violence coming from women.

    5. Alice Wood was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum term of 18 years. To all the people who thought she would get off for being a woman, grow the hell up.

    6. It seems to me that she did not study theology and ethics well. After all, it is unethical to kill out of jealousy and, moreover, contradicts the biblical commandment “thou shalt not kill.”

    7. Starr from University of Michigan Law School found that, controlling for the crime, "men receive 63% longer sentences on average than women do," and "[w]omen are… twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted", also based on data from US federal court cases.
