A 13-year-old boy has been sentenced to two years in custody for causing the death of a grandmother by dangerous driving.

Marcia Grant was run over with her own car in Greenhill, Sheffield, on 5 April.

The offender, who was 12 at the time and cannot be named for legal reasons because of his age, was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday.

He had previously pleaded guilty to causing the death of the 60-year-old at a hearing at the city’s youth court last month.

Describing the incident, prosecutor Gary Crothers told that hearing the boy said “looks like I got my first kill” to police afterwards.

Mr Crothers said: “At around 7pm on the evening in question this defendant is seen on CCTV attempting to take Mrs Grant’s car.

“Mrs Grant tries to stop him by going behind the car.

“On CCTV, the vehicle is driven slightly erratically at this time and it does come to a stop.

“Mrs Grant positions herself behind the vehicle. The vehicle reverses, causing her to fall on her back and her head impacts with the ground.

“She was trapped under the vehicle, her husband tried to break the window of the car to get the defendant out of the car.”

The prosecutor said the vehicle then reversed “at some speed causing the catastrophic injuries to Mrs Grant”.
