A teenager who killed a woman by driving into her has been jailed for life with a minimum of 17 years after being found guilty of murder.
Kian Bateman, 19, deliberately drove into Shelley Davies, 38, and her partner David Bratcher, 40, outside the 4th Glamorgan Homeguard Club in Caerau, Cardiff, at 00:30 BST on 27 September last year.
Both suffered serious injuries and Davies died in hospital three weeks later.
Bateman was cleared of the attempted murder of Bratcher, although he was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
He admitted he had been inhaling nitrous oxide from balloons that evening but denied the drug - also known as laughing gas - made him feel aggressive.
