Doyle, from the West Derby area of Liverpool, is also charged with wounding with intent to cause GBH and attempted GBH. The dad-of-three appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today where wept throughout proceedings. He was due to enter a plea but the judge adjourned the case until September 4 after more charges were added to the indictment. Reporting restrictions were added on some of the complainants, who are aged six months, ten, 12, 13 and 17. The court heard previously Doyle had "driven deliberately" into the crowd of football fans and allegedly used his car as a "weapon". Merseyside Police previously out terrorism as a possible motive for the alleged attack. Doyle was a Royal Marine commando but is now understood to be a businessman who ran a now-dissolved firm. He has previously competed in triathlons and enjoyed luxury holidays. Neighbours in his quiet suburb claimed his wife only found out about the crash when she saw the car on the news. The carnage unfolded as thousands of Liverpool fans packed the streets to watch the title winners parade the Premier League trophy on an open-top bus. It was the first time since 1990 that fans could celebrate a title win with a parade after their 2020 success came during the pandemic. But the festivities quickly turned to horror when a dark grey Ford Galaxy suddenly appeared in Water Street. Merseyside Police confirmed the car had followed an ambulance beyond the cordon as medics were called to help a member of the public having a suspected heart attack. Mobile phone footage showed it ploughing into the crowd as screams were heard. It then came to a stop as fearless fans rushed over in a bid to drag the driver from the car. But the vehicle then lurched forward again - sending pedestrians scattering before finally coming to a standstill. Fire crews arrived to find four people trapped under the vehicle, including a child, and worked quickly to free them. Sir Keir Starmer released a statement at the time, saying: "The scenes in Liverpool are appalling - my thoughts are with all those injured or affected. "I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and ongoing response to this shocking incident. "I'm being kept updated on developments and ask that we give the police the space they need to investigate." While Liverpool FC said: "We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident. "We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident." 7 The dad is a former Royal Marine 7 Thousands had flooded the streets when the horror unfolded Credit: PA

Man, 50, killed in drive-by shooting outside petrol station as cops release CCTV in hunt for car ‘with false plates'
The vehicle being hunted has a distinct feature on its frontage FATAL SHOOTING Man, 50, killed in drive-by shooting outside petrol station as cops release CCTV in hunt for car 'with false plates' A MAN has died after being injured in a late-night drive-by shooting close to a petrol station. Police rushed to the scene in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, shortly before 10pm last night after receiving reports of a man being seriously injured after being shot close to a BP petrol station. The victim - believed to be a 50-year-old man living in the local area - was quickly taken to hospital but tragically died there from his injuries. His family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers, police said. Cops have now opened a murder investigation and are hunting the car it believes was involved in the shooting. West Yorkshire Police released fresh CCTV images today of the vehicle, which is understood to have been stolen in a burglary in the nearby town of Castleford on August 3. The Toyota RAV4 is described by officers as being "bluey grey-coloured with a grey trim". Cops added that it was displaying a cloned numberplate (FV53 FXT) in the footage but warned it could now be driving with different plates. Setting it apart from other vehicles, the motor believed to be used in the shooting has distinctive bull lights on its roof, above the windshield. Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle said: "A man has lost his life, and it is an absolute priority for us to understand the circumstances of what has taken place and identify anyone who has had any involvement in this incident. "We understand that the vehicle used in this offence was on false plates and was stolen in a burglary in Castleford on 3 August. "The vehicle is particularly distinctive because of the bull lights fitted to the vehicle." DCI Entwistle added: "We are interested in speaking to anyone who believes they have seen this RAV4 following this burglary, around the time of this offence and since. "The vehicle may now be displaying different plates. 'Motorists who were in the Doncaster Road area last night who have dashcams fitted are also asked to check whether they have captured any footage of this vehicle. "The driver was driving in the direction of Wakefield before they have turned around near the BP petrol station immediately prior to the shooting and then driven off in the direction they came from. 'We understand the shock and concern that an incident of this nature will cause, particularly given that a firearm has been involved. "We are dedicating significant resources to this investigation and our neighbourhood policing colleagues are supporting this with an increased presence in the area to provide reassurance to the community.' If you have seen this vehicle, witnessed the attack, or have any information which could help police, contact the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team via Live Chat or by calling 101, quoting Operation Ploughland. Information, including footage, can be provided through the Major Incident Public Portal here. More to follow...
