A businesswoman has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of an e-bike rider and the attempted murder of her ex-boyfriend. The case involved a high-speed car chase and a subsequent attack orchestrated by the woman, highlighting the devastating consequences of taking the law into one's own hands.
In a shocking case of premeditated violence, businesswoman Zoe Treadwell, 36, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 35 years for the murder of Joey Johnstone. The chilling crime involved a high-speed car chase culminating in the fatal ramming of Mr. Johnstone, 28, who was riding an e-bike. The incident, captured on CCTV, unfolded after a dispute and a period of escalating tensions.
Treadwell's actions were described by the judge as a blatant disregard for human life and a gross abuse of power, highlighting the tragic consequences of taking the law into one's own hands.\The case also involved another incident where Treadwell orchestrated an attack on her ex-boyfriend, Josh Lovell, and his passenger, Free Jenkins. This second act of violence was carried out by Jonjay Harrison, 25, who also received a life sentence with a minimum of 32 years. The attack on Mr. Lovell and Mr. Jenkins, also captured on camera, saw Harrison use a Mercedes to ram the vehicle they were in, resulting in grievous bodily harm to Mr. Jenkins, including the amputation of part of his leg. The judge condemned the premeditated nature of both attacks, emphasizing the devastating impact on the victims' families and loved ones. The court heard emotional victim impact statements, revealing the profound grief and suffering experienced by those affected by Treadwell's actions. Mr. Johnstone's partner, Sophie Quinn, shared the heart-wrenching pain of their children, who are struggling to understand the absence of their father. His mother, Michelle Rush, described the unbearable loss and the enduring impact on her life. The judge acknowledged the irreparable damage Treadwell caused and the severity of the consequences of her choices.\The sentencing of Treadwell and Harrison brings to a close a harrowing chapter of violence and retribution. The court underscored the importance of upholding the rule of law and the sanctity of human life. The judge made clear that the actions of the accused were entirely unjustified and disproportionate to any perceived grievance. The case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of resorting to violence and the importance of seeking legal recourse when dealing with disputes. The public gallery at Winchester Crown Court erupted in cheers and clapping when Treadwell's sentence was announced, with one person shouting: May you rot in hell, Zoe. The judge noted that Harrison had been described as smiling during the pursuit and had been paid £1,000 for his involvement. The family was planning to go on a four-week holiday of a lifetime in May 2025. At 30 years old, I had to plan the love of my life's funeral instead of travelling the world as a family, she said. The judge highlighted the irreparable harm caused to Mr Johnstone's family by her actions
