Nigel Malt: Dad who ran over daughter in drunken rage in west Norfolk dies in prison
A father who murdered his own daughter by drunkenly running her over in his car has died in prison. Nigel Malt was "consumed with anger" over a family break-up when he reversed into 19-year-old Lauren Malt in West Winch in Norfolk on 23 January 2022. After reversing into her he then drove over her body a second time, claiming in court that he thought she was a wheelie bin. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman said on its website that an investigation was taking place following Malt's death at the age of 47 on 29 April at HMP Gartree in Leicestershire. No cause of death has yet been confirmed. After being found guilty of murder, Malt was jailed for life with a minimum of 18 years at Norwich Crown Court, though the sentence was then extended to a minimum of 22 years after being referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. The trial had heard that Malt had been arguing with his daughter and threatened her boyfriend with a crowbar. "Having knocked her to the ground he then reversed his car over her," prosecutor Andrew Jackson said. "He stopped, then he drove the car forward again over her body. These actions killed Lauren Malt, and later examination of her body revealed bruising, lacerations and crushing injuries to her head, torso, arms and legs." After hitting his daughter in his car, Malt put her body in the passenger side of his Mercedes and drove to the shop where the girl's mother, his estranged wife Karen Malt, worked. Ms Malt was then taken to a hospital in King's Lynn where she was pronounced dead. His lawyer said Malt had been drinking and that what happened had been an accident. The trial was told that Malt had been estranged from his wife and children and was living separately at a different address at the time.

He then stopped before driving forwards over Lauren as she screamed in agony. Malt was jailed for life with a minimum of 18 years in 2022 after being convicted of murder. The killer dad, whose minimum jail term was later raised to 22 years, was found dead at HMP Gartree in Leicestershire on April 29. His cause of his death has not yet been released. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has launched a probe, which is standard practice when an inmate dies in jail. Malt murdered Lauren outside the family home in January 2022. He had breached bail conditions imposed after he was arrested for assaulting his wife and instead drove to the shop where she worked. Malt also made 19 phone calls to her home on January 23 this year that went unanswered. The final call, which Lauren is believed to have picked up, lasted for one minute and six seconds with Malt arriving at the home shortly after. The court was told he rowed with his daughter and her boyfriend, who he tried to attack with a crowbar. "Consumed by anger", he then hopped in the black Mercedes and began to drive it "at speed" into Lauren. A horrified 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. After he was arrested at hospital, Malt was heard saying: 'My baby. It's my mistake that caused all this.' The teen was rushed to hospital where she medics found she had suffered a broken back, breast bone and ribs and traumatic injuries to her chest and abdomen. Sentencing, Judge Anthony Bate said Malt used his car as a "lethal weapon in an alcohol-fuelled rage in a residential street". He added: "She (Lauren) should have been safe in her father's company."
