Hassan Jhangur: Man who murdered Good Samaritan Chris Marriott using his car as weapon to learn fate tomorrow
After two trials and several months of waiting, a 25-year-old man is now set to learn the minimum amount of time he is to spend behind bars after murdering one person, and seriously injuring five others.
Chris Marriott, aged 46, was in the process of offering assistance to a woman lying in the road in College Close, Burngreave, Sheffield, on the afternoon of December 27, 2023, when he was struck by a car, leaving him with fatal injuries.
He had been out on a walk with his wife and children when he stopped to help.
Four others were also seriously injured in the collision, including midwife Alison Norris, who was also attempting to come to the woman’s aid.
Jurors found Hassan Jhangur guilty of Chris’ murder in July 2025, at the conclusion of his retrial at Sheffield Crown Court. The jury in Hassan Jhangur’s first trial failed to reach a verdict after more than 35 hours of deliberation.
He is now due to be sentenced at the same court tomorrow (Thursday, November 6, 2025).
The judge, Mr Justice Morris, is required to sentence Hassan Jhangur to life imprisonment, the mandatory sentence for those convicted of murder.
Mr Justice Morris will fix the minimum term Hassan Jhangur is required to serve behind bars during tomorrow’s hearing, and will also sentence him for the numerous other offences he was found guilty of during the same trial.
Outlining the case against Hassan Jhangur, prosecutor Jason Pitter KC, said “Mr Marriott came to die, and numerous people were injured, when the car driven by the defendant, Hassan Jhangur struck them.”
“Hassan Jhangur used his Seat Ibiza vehicle as a weapon by deliberately driving so as to hit that group of people, perhaps not realising who was within it,” Mr Pitter told the jury.
The court heard how after causing the crash Jhangur, of Whiteways Road, Grimesthorpe, Sheffield, got out of the vehicle and set about stabbing Hasan Khan, the man who had married his sister hours before.
In addition to Mr Marriott’s murder, Jhangur was also found guilty of three counts of grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to three of the others injured in the crash.
Jhangur was also found guilty of wounding with intent in relation to a fourth person injured in the crash plus guilty of wounding with intent in relation to the stabbing of Hasan Khan.
His dad, Mohammed Jhangur, 57, also of Whiteways Road, was found guilty of one count of perverting the course of public justice.
He was seen hiding a knife in the boot of his car at College Close, moments after his son had used it in the stabbing.
Mr Pitter said the wedding of Hasan Khan and Amaani Jhangur, which took place on the morning of the fatal incident, “appears to be the feud and the catalyst for the violence that was to occur.”
He told jurors it was as part of Hassan Jhangur’s participation in the family “feud” that “killed Chris Marriott on the one hand and seriously injured Alison Norris on the other.”
In addition to Ms Norris, Hassan Jhangur also left his sister, Nafessa - the woman seen lying in the road who Mr Marriott and Ms Norris attempted to help - and his mother, Ambreen, seriously injured after hitting them with his car.
Riasat Khan, Hasan Khan’s dad, was the first person Jhangur hit with his car. He also suffered significant injuries.
