A drug dealer and two accomplices who killed a woman and endangered the life of her boyfriend in a car attack in Falkirk have each been jailed for 11 years.

Arslan Sajid, 24, drove a Mercedes which hit the back of a car driven by Amy Rose Wilson, 27, in New Carron Road in July 2023.

Sajid and associates Andrew Gregoire, 29, and Anthony Davidson, 32, were originally charged with murder, but found guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.

Sentencing the men, Judge Lady Drummond said Ms Wilson had been “much loved” and her death was overwhelming to her family.

The trial at the High Court in Edinburgh heard that Sajid pursued the car with Ms Wilson and her partner Ryan Paterson following a row over a drug deal.

Sajid and his accomplices, all from London, had travelled from Essex with 10kg (22lb) of cannabis to sell to a Glasgow dealer.

But Sajid claimed that Ms Wilson and Mr Paterson had stolen five kilos of cannabis which belonged to him.

Jurors were told that there was a confrontation in a car park in Cumbernauld, where Sajid, Gregoire and Davidson smashed the windows of Ms Wilson’s car and threatened to kill them.

Sajid pursued Ms Wilson’s car and hit it, causing it to spin onto the other side of the road where it collided with another vehicle.

Ms Wilson was killed in the smash, but Mr Paterson survived.

The men were accused of his attempted murder, but were instead found guilty of severely assaulting him to the danger of his life.

Jurors heard that Sajid “didn’t appreciate how serious the incident was”.

He told prosecutor Alan Cameron KC: “It was not my intention for her to die. It was not meant to be like that.”

Judge Lady Drummond said Ms Wilson’s mother and step-dad described her as much loved and described her loss as overwhelming.

She added: “Amy Rose Wilson’s father has said he has supreme difficulty putting into words the immense and devastating loss of his only child has had on his life.

“It is said not having her any longer has left a vast and hollow emptiness.”

Sajid, Gregoire and Davidson will also be monitored for a further three years on their release.

The jury also convicted the trio and a fourth man, Steven Hornsby, 55, of conspiring to steal drugs and money at locations across the UK in the days before Ms Wilson’s death.

Hornsby was jailed for four years by Lady Drummond.
