"A woman who hunted an e-bike rider in her Range Rover, killing him in a case of mistaken identity, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 35 years for murder. Zoe Treadwell, 36, was convicted by a jury at Winchester Crown Court of the murder of 28-year-old Joey Johnstone. The fatal incident occurred on 9 April 2025 in Bournemouth, Dorset, stemming from an ongoing feud."
"Dorset Police stated Mr Johnstone was targeted in error, with Treadwell's former partner, Joshua Lovell, believed to be the intended victim. Treadwell was also convicted of the attempted murder of Mr Lovell and causing grievous bodily harm with intent against Free Jenkins in a second incident on 1 May. Jonjay Harrison, 25, was convicted of the same charges against Mr Lovell and Mr Jenkins in the May 1 incident. He also pleaded guilty to possessing a knife in a public place."
"Sophie Quinn, who has two children with Mr Johnstone as well as a child from a previous relationship, said in a victim impact statement read to the court that she was heartbroken by his death. She said: On 9th April our lives changed for the worse, Joey innocently going out for a bike ride in the evening to never return home, my soulmate taken away from me forever."
