A man who killed a passer-by when he drove his car into a crowd of people at his sister’s wedding reception has been found guilty of murder

Hassan Jhangur, 25, killed Chris Marriott, 46, when he deliberately crashed his Seat Ibiza into the group in Burngreave, Sheffield, in December 2023.

“Good Samaritan” Mr Marriott, who had stopped to help after Jhangur’s sister had been injured in an earlier brawl, died at the scene while four other people were injured in the crash.

Jhangur, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, was found guilty of murder after a trial at Sheffield Crown Court as well as three counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and one of wounding with intent relating to those injured in the crash

He was also convicted of a second count of wounding with intent after jurors heard he launched a vicious knife attack on his new brother-in-law, Hasan Khan, following the crash, stabbing him repeatedly in the head and chest.

Addressing Jhangur Mrs Justice Ellenbogen said: “The sentence for murder will be life imprisonment. At the sentencing hearing it will be for me to set the minimum period of time for you to serve before you are considered for release.”
