Nigel Malt, 44, hit 19-year-old Lauren Malt outside the home in West Winds, Norfolk, where she lived with her mother and younger siblings on January 23 this year. He then put her body in the passenger seat and drove her to hospital in King’s Lynn where she was pronounced dead, Norwich Crown Court heard. Malt, who was estranged from his wife and children, lived at a different address. Andrew Jackson, prosecuting, told jurors the pair had been arguing and Malt threatened her boyfriend, Arthur Marnell, with a crowbar before “reversing his car and hitting his daughter”.

Jurors returned their unanimous verdict Monday after a little more than a day of deliberations. Judge Anthony Bate adjourned the case for sentencing to a date to be fixed in August.
