Murder Investigation After Footballer Tyler Fairman's Death in Arnold Car Collision

The charged suspect is due at Nottingham Crown Court on June 8 with a trial set for October 7.

Overview

  • Tyler Fairman, 26, died Tuesday after a red Vauxhall Astra mounted the kerb and hit five pedestrians in Arnold at about 1.12am Saturday, according to police.
  • Nottinghamshire Police said Wednesday the inquiry is now a murder investigation and asked anyone with videos to give them to officers rather than share them online.
  • Duane Anthony, 40, is charged with five counts of attempted murder plus aggravated vehicle taking, driving while disqualified and without insurance, and he remains in custody.
  • Prosecutors told a Crown Court hearing Thursday that the car deliberately struck the group, an allegation that will be tested at trial.
  • Fairman’s club and family posted tributes as a fundraiser for his pregnant partner and young son topped £11,000 Thursday, while police said the four other people hurt had minor injuries.
