A van driver who deliberately ran over an off-duty ambulance worker following a pub car park row will be sentenced on Wednesday to life for his murder.

Sheldon Flanighan, 55, was killed and his friend Wayne Common was badly injured when Toby Kelly deliberately hit them with his van in the car park of the Bay Horse in Cramlington, Northumberland, in April.

Following a trial which lasted almost five weeks at Newcastle Crown Court, Kelly was found guilty of murder and attempted murder.placeholder image
