Dec. 19 (UPI) -- An English man was convicted of ramming his Mercedes into a crowd last Christmas Day, killing a young man and seriously injuring four others in a "drunken rage" in London.
Anthony Gilheaney, 31, of Longfield, Harlow, was found guilty of murder, attempted murder and wounding with intent after a trial at the Old Bailey. Sentencing has been set for Jan. 19, Metropolitan Police said.
He faces a mandatory life sentence, the Guardian reported.
"Gilheaney got behind the wheel of his car in a drunken rage, determined to inflict as much damage as possible," Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, who led the investigation of the crash in London's West End. "He targeted innocent people, who were out celebrating Christmas Day and killed 25-year-old Aiden Chapman."
At 12:45 a.m., officers were called to Shaftesbury Avenue after reports of a collision and a car driving on the wrong side of the road.
