21 killers have been sent to begin prison sentences during Sheffield Crown Court hearings held during the course of 2023.
Some of the individuals have been sentenced to life imprisonment at His Majesty's Pleasure, while others have received less substantial services. A number of defendants sought to deny their guilt, and stood trial at the same court.
Others admitted to their fatal crime, and consequently, received a decrease in the length of their sentence.
One of the defendants was just 12-years-old when he killed beloved grandmother, Marcia Grant, after he ran her over with her own car. He subsequently admitted to a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
Others admitted to their fatal crime, and consequently, received a decrease in the length of their sentence.
17. Jordan Lill and Christopher Milsom
Jordan Lill (pictured) and Christopher Milsom had been speeding along Wheatley Hall Road, in Doncaster, overtaking each other along the route, when Lill's Jaguar XF hit 34-year-old Carl Queen. Carl had just been dropped off by a taxi after an evening out on 30 July 2020 and was crossing the road to get home when the collision occurred at around 11.15pm. Carl was sadly pronounced dead at the scene, with a post-mortem later confirming he died as a result of multiple injuries. Lill stopped at the scene following the collision. Although Milsom turned his Mercedes around and returned to the scene, he then fled and had to be later tracked down by officers. At Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday, November 28, Lill, aged 26, of Wakelam Drive, Armthorpe, and Milsom, aged 34, of Lyndhurst Crescent, Doncaster, were both jailed for seven and a half years after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at an earlier hearing. The pair were also handed five-year driving disqualifications. No picture of Milsom has been provided.
18. Mohammed Abdullah
Sean Crowley, aged 58, was walking down Regent Street in Sheffield city centre at around 1.30am on August 22, 2021, when Mohammed Abdullah mounted the pavement with his black Vauxhall Insignia vehicle, hitting Mr Crowley from behind and inflicting fatal injuries upon him. The killer driver did not stop at the scene. Sentencing Abdullah during a July 12, 2023 hearing at Sheffield Crown Court, Judge David Dixon told him: "Mr Crowley was simply walking down the pavement on Regent Street, as he was fully entitled to do...you came round the bend of that corner, mounted the pavement, and as far as I could tell from the footage, made no attempt to brake at all. You went straight into Mr Crowley, as he was walking down the pavement. He stays on the car for a few moments before he then falls off, and on to the pavement. "You made no effort to stop all you, you continue on, you continue on for some distance." Abdullah, of the Wincobank area, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at an earlier hearing. Judge Dixon said there is 'nothing the court can do to diminsh what happened' to Mr Crowley or to 'bring him back' and sentenced Abdullah to 75 months in prison.
