These reports were from last January so I assume "allegedly" was used to legally cover the places that reported it. This current round of coverage seems to drop those details so I assume Dennis's team were able to argue that he was not wholly legally culpable for those actions. From the BBC article:
However, Dennis's guilty plea means he has admitted to driving a car when Hoskins was in close proximity, knowing that act was likely to cause harm or being recklessly indifferent to whether it would.
"There was no intention of Mr Dennis to harm his wife and this charge does not charge him with responsibility for her death," the retired athlete's lawyer told the court.
He was able to successfully argue that his intention wasn't to kill her, but still take responsibility for doing things that likely could had led to it. Seems at the very least morally dubious to me

I don’t know what the truth is and I’m not here to defend Dennis but the word allegedly is used twice in that sentence you quoted. Does anyone know what really happened?
