Anthony Gilheaney, 31, targeted people with his Mercedes, killing Aiden Chapman, 25, and seriously injuring four others
A man who turned his car into a weapon as he launched a series of hate-filled homophobic and racist attacks on Christmas Day last year in central London has been convicted of murder.
Anthony Gilheaney, 31, was drunk when he mounted the pavement with his Mercedes and repeatedly targeted people to run over.
He was convicted of the murder of Aiden Chapman, 25, who sustained catastrophic brain injuries after being struck by Gilheaney’s car.
A couple on their way home from midnight mass were also attacked in the early hours of Christmas Day 2024 in London’s West End.
