A DRIVER from Mansfield has been acquitted of murdering a mother of one who died on a country lane after she was knocked off the back of an electric motorbike ridden by her boyfriend.

Keaton Muldoon, 23, was accused of murdering 25-year-old Alana Armstrong - who died at the scene in Batley Lane, Pleasle - but was found not guilty by a jury at Derby Crown Court.

He was also cleared of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Ms Armstrong's boyfriend, Jordan Newton-Kay, who had his right leg amputated 15cm above the knee after the crash.
