A DAD who crushed his teen daughter to death after he drove over her twice as she screamed in agony has died in prison.

Lauren Malt, 19, was trying to protect her boyfriend from a crowbar attack carried out by dad Nigel Malt, 44, when he slammed his Mercedes into her.

The dad reversed over the teen outside the home she shared with her mum and younger siblings in Norfolk.

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 shocked onlooker exclaimed, “You’ve killed her, you’ve f***ing killed her,” but Malt insisted they refrain from notifying the police and instead placed 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 teenager was quickly taken to the hospital, where medical personnel discovered that she had sustained a fractured back, sternum, and ribs, along with severe trauma 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.”
