A man is sentenced to life in jail with a minimum of 14 years after he fatally ran over a woman while trying to steal a car from her Perth driveway.

At the time of the Mirrabooka events he was on bail, after breaking into a home in Balga on February 16 and threatening a resident with a knife before leaving with a handbag.

The court heard Spratt had a transient life as a child, had been abused and had engaged in illicit drug use over many years, drinking alcohol from the age of 14 and starting to use meth at 16. Mr Gunning said his client had been on parole and living with his mother, and had tried to get a job but failed because of his previous criminal record.
