Stephanie Turtle was killed when her husband deliberately ran her over with his car in 2017
A former Conservative councillor has been convicted of killing his wife by deliberately running her over with his car outside their French home in 2017.
The Cahors Criminal Court found that he had intentionally driven over his wife with his Mercedes car after a heated argument over a television programme.He told the court in south-west France that his wife's death had been a tragic accident and had followed an evening of arguments at the home in Prayssac, near Cahors, over what to watch on television.
He told the court that his office was convinced that David Turtle "could not fail to have been aware of the fact that his wife was in front of the car when started to drive it. Mr Turtle started the car. If she was in front of it on the ground, wouldn't she have stood up? Wouldn't she have shouted?".
Officers said they believed that Ms Turtle had lain down in front of the car to stop her husband leaving.
