Overview

  • Hassan Jhangur, 25, was found guilty of murdering Good Samaritan Chris Marriott after deliberately driving into a group during a December 2023 wedding feud in Burngreave, Sheffield.
  • The jury also convicted Jhangur of causing grievous bodily harm to four others and of stabbing his brother-in-law, Hasan Khan, following the collision.
  • Prosecutors argued that Jhangur intended to inflict at least “really serious harm,” allowing his intent to transfer from his intended target to all victims struck by his car.
  • Mohammed Jhangur, 57, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice for concealing a knife at the scene of the attack.
  • Both Hassan and his father will be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court in the coming weeks, with Hassan facing a mandatory life term.
