A road-rage driver burned to death after ploughing into another car, spinning her wheels until they caught fire, then sitting tight while the flames engulfed her, an inquest heard today.

The bodies of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells were found in a ‘‘severely decomposed and partially skeletonised’’ state and were almost certainly not killed at the spot where they were found, an inquest was told today.

Inquests into the deaths of murdered schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman are being opened.

Police investigating the double murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman today searched the home of the alleged killer’s grandmother.
