Graeme Lamb, aged 48, who had an 0-licence for five vehicles at his home address in Quarry Park Stables. Wardley Lane, was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving at Newcastle Crown Court.
He ran over his wife Josephine, aged 58, with his 26-tonne Scania on 12 July 2009 after drinking half a bottle of Bacardi (CM17 June). He claimed he saw herjump in front of the vehicle. but assumed she would move out of the way.
She died front "catastrophic" head injuries. The court heard Josephine was jealous of her husband's friendship with truck driver employee Jacqui Brunton, and the couple had been arguing for months Graeme was also banned from driving for five years, and must take an extended test before getting his licence back.
-This has been a tragic and traumatic case, which had a devastating effect on Josephine Lamb's family, which of course includes the defendant himself," says detective sergeant Stephen Carter.
