A woman who was speeding and drink-driving when she killed a much-loved Melbourne nursing student could walk from jail in four years. Subha Anand was more than triple the legal blood-alcohol limit when she slammed into the back of Natasha Pigot’s car late at night at Williams Landing in January 2016, killing the 19-year-old. Anand, who fell pregnant and had a baby after the crash, was sentenced on Friday, her 30th birthday, to seven years in jail with a non-parole period of four years. Victorian County Court Judge John Smallwood described Anand’s behaviour as a ‘very serious’ example of culpable driving.

The 21-year-old nursing home assistant suspected of killing an elderly patient with insulin may have committed two more murders. The man has worked at several nursing homes in the region and was arrested two weeks ago. The public prosecutor says he is now suspected of killing two more elderly patients. Four other suspicious deaths are under investigation as are six cases in which the patient survived. The investigation began earlier this month after a woman at a nursing home became unexpectedly unwell. She was taken to hospital, where medical staff said they suspected she had been given a dose of insulin. Nursing home officials then called in the police. The man was remanded in custody for 90 days while the investigation continues.
