Sheffield dad Chris Marriott dies in violent wedding row – court

Giving evidence on Tuesday, Ms Norris told the court how she received “a blow” and felt “flying through the air”.

She said: “Somehow – I still don’t know how – I launched myself out of the way.

“I didn’t even have time to shout a warning, I just moved somehow. I still don’t know how I did it.”

She told the jury she feared the attack was deliberate because the vehicle did not change speed and because of the position of the wheels.

Her partner John Wood said in his evidence that he remembered seeing the car swerve to avoid “a person or two” standing in the road before crashing into the group in front.

“It was a slight swerve, slightly left to the pavement without slowing down,” he told the court.

Following the collision, the prosecution said, Hassan Jhangur got out of the car, armed with a knife, and stabbed Hasan Khan several times.

Mr Storey told jurors: “Hassan Jhangur’s actions demonstrate that he intended to kill that day.

“His primary target appears to have been Hasan Khan, but he was clearly prepared to use his car as a weapon, intending to cause at least very serious harm to others.”

Hassan Jhangur’s father Mohammed arrived at the scene a short time later and the court heard how he allegedly took the knife from his son and hid it in the boot of his own car.

Mohammed Jhangur initially told police that someone had planted the knife and when he was charged with perverting the course of justice, the prosecution said, he commented that he “should have let it go”.

The process continues.
