Paul Doyle had previous serious convictions and was described as a ‘live wire’ by a Royal Marines colleague
The sound was sickening: a thud, thud, thud as bodies bounced violently off the bumper. Inside Paul Doyle’s two-tonne vehicle, the scene was perhaps even more shocking.
Dashcam footage played in court this week showed the former Royal Marine screaming angrily as he ploughed into Liverpool FC supporters: “Get out the fucking way! Get out the way! Move, move, move!”
His rage grew despite the carnage in his wake. The 134 victims included a six-month-old boy splayed out on the road in his first Liverpool shirt after his pushchair was thrown in the air.
Doyle, who sobbed in court, was jailed on Tuesday for 21 years and six months. The judge, Andrew Menary KC, said his actions caused “horror and devastation on a scale not previously experienced by this court”.
