Parade attacker jailed for 21 years and six months

A man who used his car as a “weapon” to plough into more than 130 people at Liverpool FC’s victory parade has been jailed for 21 years and six months.

Paul Doyle, 54, drove at crowds “in a rage” after his “anger had completely taken hold of him” shortly before 18:00 BST on 26 May, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

Judge Andrew Menary KC said the ex-Royal Marine, who stared straight ahead with no expression as he was sentenced, had generated “fear and panic” and his “disregard for human life defied ordinary understanding”.
