Pictured: Woman, 28, who was killed when she was deliberately run over several times in hit-and-run

A ‘beautiful’ 28-year-old woman who was killed after being deliberately run over several times in a hit-and-run outside her home has been pictured. 

Caragh Eaton was left with catastrophic injuries after being mowed down and left for dead just yards from her front door in Barrow upon Soar, northern Leicestershire.

Emergency services rushed to the scene in Field Edge Drive at 4.45pm on Tuesday but she was pronounced dead a short time later.

Officers discovered an abandoned black Land Rover nearby and arrested a 42-year-old man on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody being quizzed by detectives.

Today Caragh has been pictured by Leicestershire Police after being formally identified by the force. 

Tributes have flooded in on social media to the ‘beautiful and kind’ young woman who ran a Facebook page for car enthusiasts after her death was announced.

Craig Gibson wrote: ‘Rip Caragh Eaton, such sad news to hear, u was a beautiful young lady who wouldn’t hurt a fly, so sad to hear what’s happened to her, what a twisted world we live in.’

Katie Malin added: ‘I’d just like to put a post out and say we are shocked and saddened to hear about the news of Caragh Eaton she founded this group along side myself with a hope of bringing the car community together.

‘Such a lovely, kind lady that I am sure will leave a hole in the hearts of those she touched.’

David Carpenter added: ‘She was just such a gentle and kind soul. This is so tragic, my thoughts go out to her family. I just can’t believe it. RIP.’

Earlier this week neighbours told how Caragh was run over multiple times outside her home.

One resident added: ‘She’s been hit once and he’s gone back again to drive over her two or three more times. It’s just horrific.’

Another neighbour added: ‘I didn’t know her well but she seemed a lovely girl.

Detective Inspector Mark Parish, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit major crime team, said a team of detectives are working ‘around the clock’ to ‘piece together the events of, and leading up to, Caragh’s death’ (pictured, the crime scene at Field Edge Drive where Caragh was killed) 

‘She must have been hit within seconds of leaving her house as she was only a few metres away from her door.

‘Whether somebody was lying in wait for her, I just don’t know. I’ve never known her to be involved in any trouble. It’s heartbreaking.’

Detective Inspector Mark Parish, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit major crime team, said: ‘A team of detectives are working around the clock to piece together the events of, and leading up to, Caragh’s death.
