Sheffield Driver Guilty of Murder After Wedding Brawl

Hassan Jhangur, 25, has been found guilty of murder for killing Chris Marriott, a good Samaritan who stopped to help Jhangur's sister after a violent family feud broke out at a wedding in Sheffield. Jhangur drove his car into a crowd of five people, including Marriott, who was fatally injured while aiding Jhangur's unconscious sister following a brawl between the Jhangur and Khan families. After hitting the crowd, Jhangur exited his vehicle and stabbed his new brother-in-law, Hasan Khan. Although Jhangur admitted to causing death by dangerous driving, he denied murder and manslaughter, but the jury convicted him after 18 hours of deliberation. He was also found guilty of grievous bodily harm against four others and wounding Hasan Khan, and his father was convicted of perverting the course of justice by concealing a knife. Prosecutors argued that Jhangur intended to cause serious harm by using his car as a weapon, and the violent incident stemmed from tensions surrounding the wedding of Jhangur's sister to a member of the Khan family.
