A teenage boy has admitted killing a grandmother by running her over her in her own car.
Marcia Grant, 60, died outside her home in the Greenhill area of Sheffield on April 5.
At the time her family released a statement, saying: “Marcia was a warm, loving and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend and a pillar of her community.
“Her loss has already sent shockwaves through all who knew her or was lucky enough to be included in her orbit.”
The youngster, who was 12 at the time of the death and cannot be named, was due to go on trial this week accused of murder.
But on Tuesday he pleaded guilty at Sheffield Crown Court to causing Mrs Grant’s death by dangerous driving and this was accepted by prosecutors.
The judge, Mrs Justice May, said the boy will be sentenced on December 1.
