Paul Doyle jailed for at least 21 years for Liverpool FC parade attack

Judge Menary told Doyle: “It is difficult, if not impossible, to convey in words alone the scene of devastation you caused.

“It shows you, quite deliberately, accelerating into groups of fans time and time again.

“You struck people head-on, knocked others onto the bonnet, drove over limbs, crushed prams and forced those nearby to scatter in terror.

“You ploughed on at speed and over a considerable distance, violently knocking people aside or simply driving over them – person, after person, after person.”

The judge continued: “You accelerated forwards and backwards repeatedly, several victims became trapped beneath the vehicle as you continued to move it.

“Others were thrown into the air or propelled across the ground.”

He added Doyle acted in an “inexplicable and undiluted fury” when he ploughed into the crowds.

Doyle gave no reaction as he was taken down from the dock by prison officers.
