Zoe Treadwell Jailed for Life for Bournemouth E‑Bike Murder as Jonjay Harrison Gets 32 Years

Prosecutors said the chases were deliberate uses of cars as weapons during a feud, with CCTV and phone records tying the two collisions together.

Overview

  • Winchester Crown Court on 15 January 2026 sentenced Treadwell, 36, to life with a minimum term of 35 years, and Harrison, 25, to 32 years for related attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.
  • On 9 April 2025, Treadwell pursued 28-year-old Joey Johnstone on residential streets at up to about 75mph in a Range Rover and fatally struck him, causing a traumatic head injury.
  • On 1 May 2025, Harrison drove a Mercedes that mounted the pavement and hit an e‑bike carrying Joshua Lovell and Free Jenkins, leaving Lovell with multiple fractures and Jenkins with a partial leg amputation.
  • Investigators connected the cases through CCTV, witness testimony, DNA and speed analysis, plus mobile data showing Treadwell provided money linked to the Mercedes used in the second attack.
  • Police and the CPS characterized both collisions as intentional, targeted attacks arising from a dispute, noted mistaken identity in the first killing, and released post-sentencing station footage of Treadwell’s account.
