Overview
- Sheffield Crown Court sentenced Hassan Jhangur, 25, to life with a 26-year minimum for murdering Chris Marriott after driving into a crowd on December 27, 2023.
- Jurors had convicted him in July of murder and multiple counts of grievous bodily harm with intent, along with wounding his new brother-in-law in a knife attack.
- Mr Justice Morris described the killing as a deliberate, senseless act of hot-headed violence that left several others seriously injured, including an off-duty midwife and members of Jhangur’s family.
- Prosecutors said he intended to cause really serious harm by using his car as a weapon and relied on transferred malice because the victim was a passer-by.
- His father, Mohammed Jhangur, received a six-month sentence suspended for two years for concealing the knife, as police released CCTV and body-worn camera footage from the case.
