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 jailed for life for his 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 when Jhangur’s sister collapsed during an earlier brawl, died at the scene while four others were seriously injured.
In a statement read to the court on Thursday, Mr Marriott’s wife of 16 years, Bryony, described her husband as “genuine, kind and loving” and said his death would affect her and their two sons “for the rest of our lives”.
Jailing him at Sheffield Crown Court for a minimum term of 26 years, Mr Justice Morris said the attack had been “a deliberate and senseless act of hot-headed violence” that resulted in the death of Mr Marriott and life-changing consequences for many others.
