Jealous actress jailed for seven years

Motive: The court heard that she had been driven by 'a combination of jealousy and revenge' when she smashed into the couple


An aspiring actress has been jailed for seven years after she mounted a pavement and used her car 'as a weapon' to plough into her former lover and his partner.
Sonita Claire smashed into Kevin O'Neill - the father of her child - and Mary Jane Kimble at 30mph, hitting them from behind as they walked hand-in-hand on a busy Derby street.
The couple were thrown onto the roof of Claire's Ford Fiesta before falling to the road 40 yards from where they were struck.
Mr O'Neill, 38, suffered a broken neck fractured vertebrae in his neck and a broken collar bone, while 33-year-old Miss Kimble sustained multiple cuts to her head and face and a broken collar bone. 
Both were knocked unconscious and left in pools of blood.
Nottingham Crown Court heard they have since made good recoveries from their injuries, but neither has any recollection of what happened.
Judge Michael Stokes QC, sentencing, told Claire: 'Heaven has no rage like love turned to hatred, nor hell a woman like a woman scorned.'
He said the 28-year-old, whose profile is still available on acting directory The Casting Website, that she had committed a 'wicked' offence, adding: 'You had no control over whether they lived or died.
