A British mother who said she accidentally ran over her husband on a Caribbean island has been jailed for 12 years for his killing.

Holiday rep Nicole Reyes, 38, was driving home from a night out in the Dominican Republic next to coconut water salesman Jorge when her car hit his motorbike, leaving him dead.
She insisted he had swerved to avoid an oncoming car and hit her by accident - but police in the Caribbean accused her of murder.
Today Mrs Reyes was jailed for 12 years after being held with 15 other women in a 12ft by 12ft cell for 18 months.
Her family said she was convicted of voluntary homicide, believed to be the Dominican Republic's equivalent of murder. She had initially faced a jail term of up to 30 years.
