On 23 January 2022, Malt once again made several calls to his wife's house. His daughter Lauren was home with her boyfriend Arthur Marnell at the time and answered the phone. What was said is not known, but it angered Malt sufficiently for him to drive to the house armed with a crowbar to confront Lauren. Upon arrival, he and Arthur Marnell argued and Malt attempted to attack Marnell with a crowbar, causing him to flee the scene. According to neighbours, Malt then got in his car seemingly to leave, only to reverse into Lauren and knock her over. He then reversed over her and drove over her again, before getting out of the car and yelling at neighbours not to call emergency services. He drove Lauren, who had died at the scene, to hospital and claimed she had been the victim of an accident. | On 23 January 2022, Malt once again made several calls to his wife's house.
