These criminals have all been jailed during the last year by Sheffield judges for killings and murders.
Some deliberately targeted their victims, others took lives in moments of madness, either by dangerous driving or mindless violence.
In one case a Sheffield man killed his ex’s new partner with a kitchen knife when a row erupted in the home he still shared with her and their children.
Another tragic case saw three doormen jailed for their “grotesque response” to a drunk bar-goer - who died by asphyxiation.
5. Christopher Wright
Wright, 73, shot his lodger and dismembered his body back in November 2019 but his remains were kept inside a concrete-filled barrel in a trailer on a farm near Barnsley and were not discovered for nearly six years. Wright killed Dyson when he tried to steal a gun from him before disposing of the body with the help of his childhood friend Karl Schwalbe. Wright, 73, was convicted of murder and Schwalbe, 72, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice. Wright was jailed for 35 years. Schwalbe was given a three-year sentence. | SYP
6. Brothers Zulkernain (left) and Armaan Ahmed
The siblings, aged 21 and 27, killed an innocent 16-year-old boy in a botched revenge attack in Sheffield on 4 June 2025. Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Taleb was fatally injured by an Audi S3 being driven on the pavement by Ahmed. The pair had been deliberately targeting a group of three riders in Staniforth Road in Darnall - two on e-bikes and one on a moped - when the car ploughed into Abdullah. Prosecutors said Abdullah had arrived in England from Yemen two months previously and was due to start college later that year but was "in the wrong place at the wrong time". Zulkernain was jailed for life with a 30-year minimum for murder. His passenger Ahmed received a 17-year sentence for manslaughter. | SYP
7. Hassan Jhangur
Jhangur, 25, murdered a father-of-two by running him over when he deliberately rammed his car into a crowd of people during a brawl at his sister's wedding reception in Burngreave, Sheffield, in December 2023. "Good Samaritan" Chris Marriott, 46, had stopped to help after Jhangur's sister collapsed during the fighting and died at the scene while four others were seriously injured. Jhangur was jailed for a minimum term of 26 years. | SYP
8. Ethan Hallows
Hallows, 25, ordered the fatal shooting of a young father who was killed in a case of mistaken identity. Unintended target Kevin Pokuta, 19, was shot in the head while sitting in a car in Page Hall Road, Sheffield, on 12 December 2023. Following the shooting, Hallows fled the country with the help of his girlfriend Paris Askew. Askew, 23, of Griffiths Road, Sheffield, was found guilty of assisting an offender and jailed for three years. Hallows was handed a minimum term of 32 years. | SYP
