Auckland, Feb 15 NZPA - A man accused of deliberately killing a woman by driving his car into hers has been jailed for a minimum of 14 years for her murder.

Tony Worrell, 50, of Swanson in West Auckland, was last year found guilty of four charges -- murder, causing grievous bodily harm and two charges of attempted intentional damage.

Today in the High Court at Auckland Worrell was jailed for life with a minimum non-parole period of 14 years.

Katie Powles, 26, died when Worrell's car struck her vehicle in Karaka, south of Auckland, on June 3, 2008. Brett Robinson, who was driving another car, was also seriously injured.
