‘Good Samaritan’ Murdered by Laughing Driver at Wedding: Life Imprisonment

A driver who callously murdered a ‘Good Samaritan’ after ramming into a wedding crowd has been sentenced to life imprisonment. The incident occurred at a wedding reception where the perpetrator, aged 25, deliberately rammed his car into a crowd of people, resulting in the tragic death of 46-year-old Chris Marriott.

During the sentencing at Sheffield Crown Court, Mr. Justice Morris described the act as a deliberate and senseless act of violence. The court heard that the victim was assisting an injured woman when he was fatally struck by the driver.

The heartbroken widow of the ‘Good Samaritan’ paid an emotional tribute to her late husband, highlighting his selfless act of helping others. The perpetrator, who showed no remorse and was reportedly laughing during the incident, was handed a minimum term of 26 years in prison.

The case has sparked outrage and condemnation from the community, with many calling for stricter punishments for such heinous crimes. The ban on driving for 30 years imposed on the driver reflects the severity of his actions and the lasting impact on the victim’s family.
