A JUDGE blasted convicted murderer Alice Wood for 'showing no true remorse' and warned she may never be released from prison as he jailed her for life for killing her fiancé.

The 24-year-old Manchester University student ran over Ryan Watson, 24, with her Ford Fiesta, dragging his body 158m seconds for 21 down a road near their home in Rode Heath, Cheshire, in May 2022.

Wood, 24, claimed Mr Watson died in a 'tragic accident' but was found guilty of murder last month following a trial at Chester Crown Court.

At a hearing today (February 2), Judge Michael Leeming sentenced Wood to life in prison with a minimum term of 18 years for the 'senseless murder' of Mr Watson.
