Jurors were told Knox had been out looking for her husband with their two young children in the car when she saw him sitting on a kerb near a pub on Woods Loke East.

She drove up on to the kerb to speak to him, she told the court.

Knox told police she did not realise she had hit her husband until she got out of the car.

Mr Knox was taken to the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston, Norfolk, where he died.
