"As thousands of Liverpool football supporters celebrated their team's success in the city centre, six miles away, in a leafy cul-de-sac, neighbours spotted a father-of-three slowly reverse out of his drive and pull away. Believed to have dropped off the family of a work colleague in the city earlier that day, Paul Doyle, now 54, looked to be heading back out to collect them."
"Paul, being Paul, the good guy he was, he'd have offered to collect them, said a neighbour. But the father-of-three never returned to his home. Instead, he drove onto a cordoned-off street filled with Liverpool supporters heading home from the team's victory parade, where he lost his temper and deliberately drove into them, leaving 134 people injured, including a six-month-old baby and a 77-year-old pensioner."
Paul Doyle, 54, left his home after earlier dropping off a colleague's family and drove onto a cordoned-off street where Liverpool supporters were leaving a victory parade. He deliberately drove into pedestrians, injuring 134 people including a six-month-old baby and a 77-year-old pensioner. Children were among those trapped under the car. Neighbours described Doyle as a kind, helpful family man, churchgoer and role model who offered help and condolence gifts. The attack transformed scenes of celebration into fear and shock across the city. Police called the seven-minute rampage lucky that no one was killed.
