During the attack, he seized her by the body, tried to take her mobile phone and repeatedly attempted to force her into his car before driving directly at her, striking her, knocking her to the ground and driving over her.

He sped away but returned and drove the car over her again at Muirhouse Parkway in Edinburgh.
