Kyle Rudge, 35, and Chris Lord, 31, from Newport were jailed for three years and 32 months respectively in March. The duo were back for a proceeds of crime hearing held at Newport Crown Court. It emerged that Lord had benefitted by £78,727.33 while Rudge profited by £57,363.98. Since both had no assets to their name which could be seized by police, the pair were ordered to pay a nominal sum of £1. (Image: Kyle Rudge) They have to pay up or face another seven days in prison in default. When they were sentenced earlier this year, the court heard that Rudge was directing Lord in their drugs operation. Rudge was caught while officers were investigation another drug dealer. They seized a mobile phone with drug related messages sent by Rudge. (Image: Chris Lord) They included videos and pictures of a large stash of the cannabis. This probe roped in his co-defendant whose details was saved under his nickname of 'Lordy.' When police aided Lord's address last October they seized cannabis. Rudge was arrested in November 2024 while driving his Seat Ibiza car on the M4 motorway. Police seized two mobile phones found inside Rudge's vehicle and found incriminating evidence of the defendant being concerned in the supply of cannabis. On top of the pictures and videos of the drugs, he was sending messages out on the different strains of cannabis he had on offer. Lord's phone was also seized whereby there were messages dating back to 2022 that read, "got snow in", and him advertising various deal sizes. Messages between the two defendants acted as evidence that Rudge was directing Lord in the street dealing of cannabis. Lord admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine, conspiracy to supply cannabis and possession of cannabis. Rudge pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis. After sentence, Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Edwards from Gwent Police said: 'During the operation, we recovered messages that showed evidence of Rudge and Lord's involvement in the supply of drugs. 'We established that Rudge was directing those under him to deal drugs and pick up cash on his behalf. 'Our investigation uncovered more than 100 pages of messages that showed Rudge's involvement in supplying cannabis. 'We also identified that Lord was running a drugs line, advertising the sale of cocaine and cannabis in the Newport area. 'Drugs fill our communities with misery, suffering and fear and people like Rudge and Lord prey upon the vulnerable in our society. "These two criminals were only interested in the profits of their activities and did not care about the pain they caused. 'Intelligence we receive from the public is paramount as we combat drug gangs in Gwent, allowing us to bring people like Rudge and Lord to justice.'

Man guilty of murder after driving into 'Good Samaritan' Chris Marriott following wedding brawl in Sheffield
A man who killed a "Good Samaritan" by driving into the middle of a wedding brawl has been found guilty of murder. Chris Marriott, 46, was out for a post-Christmas walk when he was hit by Hassan Jhangur's car and left trapped underneath. Jhangur used his Seat Ibiza as a weapon after a fight between two families at his sister's wedding reception on 27 December 2023. He first drove into the father of the Khan family, sending him over the bonnet, then crashed into a group of four people that included Mr Marriott. The devout Christian had stopped to help one of Jhangur's sisters, who was lying in the road unconscious in the Burngreave area of . Off-duty midwife Alison Norris and Jhangur's own mother and sister were also injured, Sheffield Crown Court was told. Jhangur, 25, stabbed his new brother-in-law Hasan Khan several times in the head and chest after getting out the car. The court heard Jhangur later told police: "That's why you don't mess with the Jhangurs." He denied the murder and manslaughter of Mr Marriott but pleaded guilty to death by dangerous driving. Prosecutor Jason Pitter KC told jurors that Jhangur was guilty of murder as he intended "at the very least to cause really serious harm". He said despite Jhangur targeting the Khan family, "the law says your intentions can be transferred from one person to another, even if he did not intend to hit that particular person". The jury agreed and convicted him of murder by a majority of 10 to two. Jhangur was also found guilty of wounding his brother-in-law but cleared of his attempted murder. He was further convicted of four charges of GBH with intent to Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur and Riasat Khan. His father was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after hiding a knife. The court heard the chaos erupted following the wedding of Hasan Khan and Amaani Jhangur, which took place the same morning. Mr Pitter said tensions over location and timing had escalated to Amaani falling out with her mother and sisters - and none of her family, including the defendant, attended the wedding. But her mother, Ambreen Jhangur, and sister Nafeesa Jhangur later turned up at the Khan home, sparking a row in the street that descended into violence and left Ms Jhangur unconscious. The trial heard Mr Marriott, who was out on a family walk, went over to help while his wife and children returned home. Midwife Alison Norris - who was also out with her family - did the same thing. Read more from Sky News: Prosecutors said Hassan Jhangur travelled to the scene after hearing about his sister's injuries - first driving at Hasan Khan's father, Riasat Khan, as he was in the road making a 999 call. He then hit the other four before coming to a stop in a nearby garden. Jhangur left the vehicle with the engine still running and stabbed Hasan Khan multiple times to the left side of his head and chest. The court heard Mr Marriott was wedged under the car and showed no signs of life when emergency services tried to reach him. Judge Mr Justice Morris told Jhangur - who was convicted of murder following a retrial - that he faced a life sentence. Mr Marriott's widow, Bryony Marriott, was in court for the verdict and the judge praised her and others in the public gallery for the "quiet dignity and courtesy you have shown throughout the trial". Jhangur's sentencing date is still to be announced.

'Laughing' murderer ploughed car into wedding party and killed 'Good Samaritan'
A driver who ploughed into a wedding party killing a 'Good Samaritan' who was trying to help his own sister has been found guilty of murder A 'laughing' driver who ploughed into the middle of a family wedding brawl killing a 'Good Samaritan' has been found guilty of murder. Hassan Jhangur, 25, hit five people with his Seat Ibiza when he arrived at his sister's wedding reception, where a fight had broken out between the two families. Sheffield crown court heard Jhangur first drove into the groom's dad, who was standing in the street on the phone to the 999 operator, throwing him over the vehicle's bonnet. He then crashed into a group of four people, including charity worker Chris Marriott, 46, who was out for a post-Christmas walk with his wife and two sons and had stopped to help. Mr Marriott was helping one of Jhangur's sisters as she was lying injured in the road. Jurors heard devout Christian Mr Marriott was killed and three others were injured, including off-duty midwife Alison Norris and Jhangur's own mother and sister. The defendant then got out of the car and stabbed his new brother-in-law, Hasan Khan, several times. The court heard he later told officers at the police station: "That's why you don't mess with the Jhangurs." Giving evidence, Riasat Khan, Hasan Khan's dad, said he had been standing near his house when he heard a car "screeching" as it came around the corner. "The car swerved at my youngest son Adam and missed him and gone for me," Mr Khan told the court. He said he remembered being thrown in the air. "The car hit me and cracked my head open," he said. "I could hear (people) screaming and shouting 'he's being stabbed, someone's been stabbed, someone has been killed, someone is dead, someone's underneath the car'. "I was in shock, my mind was everywhere." He said he then saw the defendant "waving a knife" and "smiling and laughing" across the road after the crash. Jhangur, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, denied the murder and manslaughter of Mr Marriott but pleaded guilty to causing Mr Marriott's death by dangerous driving. But after 18 hours of deliberations, on Wednesday a jury found him guilty of the more serious offence of murder by a majority of 10 to two. He was cleared of attempting to murder Hasan Khan, but guilty of wounding, and convicted of four charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur and Riasat Khan. His father, Mohammed Jhangur, 57, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after he concealed a knife. The jury at a retrial found him guilty by a majority verdict following 18 hours of deliberations. A jury at a previous trial had failed to reach a verdict. Prosecutor Jason Pitter KC told the jury the "public spirit" of Mr Marriott and Ms Norris "brought them unwittingly into the midst of a family dispute", which had spilled out into the street in the Burngreave area of Sheffield on December 27, 2023. Mr Pitter said a wedding between Amaani Jhangur and Hasan Khan, which had taken place that morning, "appears to have been at the heart of the tension". He told jurors an issue arose over the timing and location of the wedding and escalated to Amaani falling out with her own mother and sisters, and none of her family ultimately attended the wedding at the mosque. The court heard that when Amaani was at the Khan family home in College Court later, her mother Ambreen Jhangur and sister Nafeesa Jhangur arrived, and an increasingly "unpleasant" argument in the street escalated into violence. That violence led to the bride's sister Nafeesa being rendered unconscious. Mr Marriott, who was out with his family on a post-Christmas walk, saw Nafessa Jhangur lying in the road and decided, "fatefully", to see whether he could help, while his wife and children returned home. Ms Norris, who was also out walking with her partner and children, did the same thing. In a statement after the verdict South Yorkshire Police said: "Hassan Jhangur, 25, and Mohammed Jhangur, 57, both of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, have been on trial following the death of 46-year-old father Chris Marriott and the serious injury of five others at College Close in Sheffield on 27 December 2023. "Hassan Jhangur deliberately drove his Seat Ibiza car into a group of people in College Close before stabbing another man nearby at the scene with a knife. "Following a trial lasting almost five weeks, a jury has today (Wednesday 9 July) found Hassan Jhangur guilty of one count of murder and five counts of causing grievous bodily harm. He was found not guilty of attempted murder. "Mohammed Jhangur was found guilty of one count of perverting the course of public justice. He was seen hiding a knife in the boot of his car at College Close, moments after his son had used it to stab another man." Detective Chief Inspector Andy Knowles, Senior Investigating Officer on this case, said: 'We are extremely pleased that justice has finally been secured for Chris Marriott and his family. 'This has been a complex investigation and I'd like to pay tribute to our teams who have worked so hard to achieve this result. 'Our thoughts today, as ever, remain with Chris' family and all who knew him. His loved ones have shown the utmost dignity throughout both trials that have taken place, and have supported our investigation in every way possible. 'We will be issuing no further comment on this case until after the sentencing hearing has taken place.' The pair will appear at the same court for sentencing at a later date. Mr Justice Morris told Jhangur he faces a life sentence. The judge thanked those in the public gallery, including Mr Marriott's widow and her family, for the 'quiet dignity and courtesy you have shown throughout the trial'.

Man who killed Good Samaritan when he drove into wedding brawl guilty of murder
Hassan Jhangur, 25, hit five people with his Seat Ibiza when he arrived at his sister's wedding reception, where a fight had broken out between the two families. Sheffield Crown Court heard Jhangur first drove into the father of the rival Khan family, who was standing in the street, throwing him over the vehicle's bonnet. He then crashed into a group of four people, including Chris Marriott, 46, who was out for a post-Christmas walk with his wife and two sons and had stopped to help one of Jhangur's sisters as she was lying in the road. Jurors heard devout Christian Mr Marriott was killed and the three others were injured, including off-duty midwife Alison Norris and Jhangur's own mother and sister. The defendant then got out of the car and stabbed his new brother-in-law, Hasan Khan, several times. The court heard he later told officers at the police station: 'That's why you don't mess with the Jhangurs.' Jhangur, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, denied the murder and manslaughter of Mr Marriott but pleaded guilty to causing Mr Marriott's death by dangerous driving.

He was cleared of attempting to murder Hasan Khan, but guilty of wounding, and convicted of four charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur and Riasat Khan. His father, Mohammed Jhangur, 57, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after he concealed a knife. Prosecutor Jason Pitter KC told the jury at the opening of the trial that Jhangur was guilty of murder because he intended 'at the very least to cause really serious harm' when he used his car as a weapon. He said that although Jhangur's target may have been the Khan family, 'the law says your intentions can be transferred from one person to another, even if he did not intend to hit that particular person'. Mr Pitter said the 'public spirit' of Mr Marriott and Ms Norris 'brought them unwittingly into the midst of a family dispute', which had spilled out into the street in the Burngreave area of Sheffield on December 27 2023. Mr Pitter said a wedding between Amaani Jhangur and Hasan Khan, which had taken place that morning, 'appears to have been at the heart of the tension'.

Ms Norris, who was also out walking with her partner and children, did the same thing. The court heard Jhangur had been told about his sister being injured, and arrived at the scene in a Seat Ibiza, driving into Hasan Khan's father, Riasat Khan, who was standing in the middle of the road talking to a 999 call operator. The Seat then hit a group of four people in the road – Nafeesa Jhangur, Ambreen Jhangur, Ms Norris and Mr Marriott – before coming to a stop in a nearby front garden. Mr Marriott was wedged completely underneath the car and showed no signs of life when emergency services tipped the vehicle to get to him. Mr Pitter said Jhangur got out of the car while the engine was still running and stabbed Hasan Khan multiple times to the left side of his head and to his chest, with a knife he had taken with him. In his speech to the jury, Richard Thyne KC, defending, said that although the 'unintended consequences' of Jhangur's dangerous driving were 'terrible', 'it was neither murder nor was it manslaughter'. Mr Justice Morris told Jhangur, who was convicted of murder following a retrial, that he faces a life sentence. He will be jailed on a date to be set. The judge thanked those in the public gallery, including widow Bryony Marriott and her family, for the 'quiet dignity and courtesy you have shown throughout the trial'. She did not visibly react when the guilty verdict was returned.
