The driver laughed after hitting the Good Samaritan, the court heard

The driver of a car that ran over and killed a father-of-two laughed after the crash, a murder trial jury was told.

Chris Marriott, 46, died in December when a car driven by Hassan Jhangur ran over him and others as he helped a woman lying on a Sheffield street, the city’s crown court heard.

Riasat Khan said he was run over when he was hit by the vehicle and when he came to he could see Hassan Jhangur “smiling and smiling”.

Mr Jhangur denies manslaughter and manslaughter of Mr Marriott but admits causing his death by dangerous driving.

Prosecutors described how, after the initial attack, the defendant got out of the car in the city’s College Court and stabbed his brother-in-law, Hasan Khan.

Giving evidence earlier on Tuesday, Hasan Khan’s father Riasat Khan told the jury he was the first person to be hit by the Seat Ibiza on December 27 in the Burngreave area.

“I don’t know what happened after that,” he added.

The witness agreed that it hit the windscreen of the vehicle and ended up in the garden of a nearby house.

He said that before he briefly lost consciousness, he saw Mr Jhangur get out of the car and “was very angry” as he walked towards Mr Khan’s family, who were standing in the street.

He told the jury that after he arrived he saw Mr Jhanghur with a knife.

He said: “He was standing across the road laughing at my son.”

He added: “He was smiling and smiling, like he was proud of what he had done.”

The jury was told Hasan Khan married Amaani Jhangur that morning and trouble broke out outside the Khans’ home later after Amaani’s sister Nafeesa and their mother Ambreen turned up.

At some point during the altercation, Nafeesa Jhangur fell to the floor and was spotted by Mr Marriott, who was out for a post-Christmas walk with his wife and children.

The jury heard how the Seat Ibiza first hit Riasat Khan, before attacking Mr Marriott, Nafeesa Jhangur, Ambreen Jhangur and Alison Norris – an off-duty midwife who had also stopped to help.

Mr Jhangur, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, also admitted causing serious injury to Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur and Riasat Khan by dangerous driving.

He denies trying to kill Hasan Khan and intentionally wounding him.

The defendant also pleaded not guilty to four counts of wounding with intent.

Mr Jhangur appeared in the dock alongside his father Mohammed Jhangur, 56, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, who denies perverting the course of justice.

The charge refers to the fact that he allegedly concealed a knife.
