| It took a jury just 90 minutes to find her guilty of both charges at the High Court in Glasgow. | |
| Judge Lady Dorrian told MacKenzie: "There is only one sentence I can pass, a life sentence. | |
| "However, I have to make an assessment of the punishment part and to do that I intend to call for a social enquiry report." | |
| Earlier, the court had heard how trouble between the two woman - who both had children by 50-year-old James Wandrum - was sparked when his dog was injured while Ms Borris was walking it. | |
| MacKenzie first tackled Ms Borris about the incident on 14 June. | |
| During a chance sighting on 7 July, MacKenzie lost her temper with Ms Borris, drove at her and then reversed the car over her. | |
| The court heard that afterwards, MacKenzie tried to cover up the crime by driving the car to a reservoir near Beith and dumping it. | |
| The partly-submerged vehicle was later found by an angler who contacted the police. |
