Caragh Eaton died shortly after being hit by a car on 6 September

A man has been charged with murder over the death of a woman who was hit by a car in Leicestershire.

Caragh Eaton, 28, was pronounced dead after being struck by a vehicle on Field Edge Drive, Barrow upon Soar, on 6 September last year.

Ian Curson denied murder when appearing at Leicester Crown Court on Monday.

The 42-year-old, of Fairhaven Road in Leicester, is due to face a trial, which is expected to last about six weeks, from Tuesday.

As well as murder, the defendant also denies manslaughter and possessing a ratchet as an offensive weapon.
