The wife of the man who drove his car into fans at Liverpool's victory parade found out about the horror 'when she saw her car on the TV news'.

The 53-year-old business-owning triathlete, who is married with three teenage children, lives in a smart £300,000 four-bedroomed detached property on a neat estate, the Mail revealed last night.

Neighbours of the company director described him as a 'family man' with 'well-behaved children' who must have 'panicked in the moment'.

However, one neighbour speaking to The Sun claimed: 'She [the wife] first realised when she saw it was her car on the telly, when she saw it being driven at the parade.

'The normal police cars turned up at teatime then Matrix van turned up later that night.'
