Teen 'killed by dad who drove over her twice' as she tried to protect partner

A TEEN girl was crushed to death after her raging dad drove over her twice as she screamed in agony on the ground, a court heard today.

Lauren Malt, 19, was trying to protect her boyfriend from a crowbar attack carried out by dad Nigel Malt, 44, when he slammed his Mercedes into her, it is said.

The dad allegedly reversed over the teen outside the home she shared with her mum and younger siblings in Norfolk.

He then stopped before driving forwards over Lauren as she screamed in agony, jurors heard.

Norwich Crown Court heard how a witness yelled “You’ve killed her, you’ve f***ing killed her” but Malt urged them not to call police and instead put Lauren in the passenger seat.

He then drove his stricken daughter to the shop where his estranged wife worked after calling her to say their daughter was dead, it was said.

After he was arrested at hospital, Malt was allegedly heard saying: “My baby. It’s my mistake that caused all this.”

Jurors were told the horror unfolded when Malt “failed in his bid to inflict violence” on Lauren’s boyfriend.

The dad had breached bail conditions imposed after he was arrested for assaulting his wife and instead drove to the shop where she worked, it was said.

Malt also made 19 phone calls to her home on January 23 this year that went unanswered.
