An Oswestry man faces a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of a 22-year-old woman who was hit and killed after he ploughed his car into a crowd outside an Oswestry takeaway.
Stephen McHugh, 28, has also been found guilty of attempted grievous bodily harm following a two-week trial at Stafford Crown Court.
The 28-year-old had also denied attempting to cause grievous bodily harm to Kyle Roberts, who was also injured in the incident outside the Grill Out fast food takeaway. The jury heard how he had"used his car as a weapon" and deliberately drove into the crowd of young people outside the takeaway, following an earlier altercation where McHugh had kicked a young man in the head.
The court was told he had stopped his car outside the Grill Out takeaway where he had"exchanged words" with a crowd at around 2.50pm, before McHugh reversed his car and then drove forward, mounting the pavement.Police released a short CCTV video of the moments before McHugh drove into the crowd:
