\n A man who killed a “Good Samaritan” by driving into the middle of a wedding brawl has been found guilty of murder.\n <\/p>\n
Chris Marriott, 46, was out for a post-Christmas walk when he was hit by Hassan Jhangur’s car and left trapped underneath.<\/p>\n
Jhangur used his Seat Ibiza as a weapon after a fight between two families at his sister’s wedding reception on 27 December 2023.<\/p>\n
He first drove into the father of the Khan family, sending him over the bonnet, then crashed into a group of four people that included Mr Marriott.<\/p>\n
The devout Christian had stopped to help one of Jhangur’s sisters, who was lying in the road unconscious in the Burngreave area of Sheffield<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Off-duty midwife Alison Norris and Jhangur’s own mother and sister were also injured, Sheffield Crown Court was told.<\/p>\n Jhangur, 25, stabbed his new brother-in-law Hasan Khan several times in the head and chest after getting out the car.<\/p>\n The court heard Jhangur later told police: “That’s why you don’t mess with the Jhangurs.”<\/p>\n He denied the murder and manslaughter of Mr Marriott but pleaded guilty to death by dangerous driving.<\/p>\n Prosecutor Jason Pitter KC told jurors that Jhangur was guilty of murder as he intended “at the very least to cause really serious harm”.<\/p>\n He said despite Jhangur targeting the Khan family, “the law says your intentions can be transferred from one person to another, even if he did not intend to hit that particular person”.<\/p>\n The jury agreed and convicted him of murder by a majority of 10 to two.<\/p>\n Jhangur was also found guilty of wounding his brother-in-law but cleared of his attempted murder.<\/p>\n He was further convicted of four charges of GBH with intent to Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur and Riasat Khan.<\/p>\n His father was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after hiding a knife.<\/p>\n The court heard the chaos erupted following the wedding of Hasan Khan and Amaani Jhangur, which took place the same morning.<\/p>\n Mr Pitter said tensions over location and timing had escalated to Amaani falling out with her mother and sisters – and none of her family, including the defendant, attended the wedding.<\/p>\n But her mother, Ambreen Jhangur, and sister Nafeesa Jhangur later turned up at the Khan home, sparking a row in the street that descended into violence and left Ms Jhangur unconscious.<\/p>\n The trial heard Mr Marriott, who was out on a family walk, went over to help while his wife and children returned home.<\/p>\n Midwife Alison Norris – who was also out with her family – did the same thing.<\/p>\n Read more from Sky News:<\/strong> Prosecutors said Hassan Jhangur travelled to the scene after hearing about his sister’s injuries – first driving at Hasan Khan’s father, Riasat Khan, as he was in the road making a 999 call.<\/p>\n He then hit the other four before coming to a stop in a nearby garden.<\/p>\n Jhangur left the vehicle with the engine still running and stabbed Hasan Khan multiple times to the left side of his head and chest.<\/p>\n The court heard Mr Marriott was wedged under the car and showed no signs of life when emergency services tried to reach him.<\/p>\n Judge Mr Justice Morris told Jhangur – who was convicted of murder following a retrial – that he faced a life sentence.<\/p>\n Mr Marriott’s widow, Bryony Marriott, was in court for the verdict and the judge praised her and others in the public gallery for the “quiet dignity and courtesy you have shown throughout the trial”.<\/p>\n Jhangur’s sentencing date is still to be announced.<\/p>\n \n
