Man who killed ‘Good Samaritan’ after ploughing into him with car during wedding brawl jailed
A man who murdered a “Good Samaritan” by driving into the middle of a wedding brawl has been sentenced to 26 years in prison.
Hassan Jhangur has been jailed for murder after he ran into Chris Marriott, 46, in his car, leaving him trapped beneath.
Jhangur used his Seat Ibiza as a weapon after a fight between two families at his sister’s wedding reception on 27 December 2023.
He first drove into Riasat Khan, the father of Hassan Khan – the man who had just married Jhangur’s sister following a row between the families.
The impact threw him over the bonnet, then he crashed into a group of four people that included Mr Marriott.
Mr Marriottt had stopped to help one of Jhangur’s sisters, who was lying in the road unconscious in the Burngreave area of Sheffield.
Off-duty midwife Alison Norris and Jhangur’s mother and sister were also injured, Sheffield Crown Court was told in July.
Jhangur, 25, then got out of the car and stabbed his new brother-in-law Hasan Khan several times in the head and chest.
The court heard Jhangur later told police: “That’s why you don’t mess with the Jhangurs.”
He denied the murder and manslaughter of Mr Marriott but pleaded guilty to death by dangerous driving.
Jhangur was also found guilty of wounding his brother-in-law but cleared of his attempted murder.

He was further convicted of four charges of GBH with intent, relating to Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur and Riasat Khan.
