A banned driver who crashed into four people with his car after a fight outside a pub has been jailed for life.

Choudry Razaq, 26, left his victims "for dead" in Kingsley Road, Hounslow, west London, on 25 September last year, the Old Bailey heard.

Razaq was cleared of attempted murder but found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He was sentenced to a minimum term of 20 years and given an extended driving disqualification of 21 years.

During the trial prosecutor Rekha Kodikara said Razaq, from Feltham in west London, got behind the wheel in a "rage" after being hit on the head with a bottle outside the White Bear pub earlier that night.

The jury heard Gabriel Sjnevicius, Hanad Duhaut, Harris Koneswaran and Abdi Moallim "stumbled across" the altercation in Kingsley Road, but had not been involved.

The friends were walking past the pub on their way to watch a boxing match on television, unaware that their lives were "about to change dramatically", the court was told.

Razaq, who had suffered a head injury in the fight and was already disqualified from driving, hit the victims with the Chevrolet at about 02:40 BST and left bodies "scattered across two driveways", jurors heard.

The court was also shown police body-worn camera footage of the four men lying among the debris of a collapsed wall while officers rushed to their aid.

One had suffered multiple skull fractures and another had a significant head injury.

The court heard after the crash Razaq was treated in hospital, put his clothes in the wash and booked a flight to Pakistan.

He was arrested at Heathrow Airport as he attempted to flee the country and declined to answer questions in a police interview.

Det Con Hollie Collins, from Scotland Yard, said: "This is a tragic case where one man's intentional, merciless and unprovoked attack will affect the four victims and their families for the rest of their lives.

"I'd like to thank the victims and their families for their unwavering courage, resilience and patience throughout this investigation."

In an earlier hearing the defendant had admitted dangerous driving and driving while disqualified, as well as inflicting grievous bodily harm on three of the men and attempted actual bodily harm to a fourth, but denied intent for the latter offences.

That should take him through to his death bed and beyond.

I know you have difficulty with handling numbers, but 26 plus 20 plus 21
add up to very little more than your current age, and it’s reasonably clear
that you aren’t on your death-bed either. So why the petty vindictiveness?

Watching a boxing match at 0240h?
Recipe for disaster as it was proven with the life sentence of 20 years.

How is he going to pay for his incarceration?

Those two statements make no logical sense whatsoever.

Now he has another 41 years ban on top of the one he has already got -- excellent result.

Well said.

*All* chav-cyclists should be banished from the roads.

Old Bailey = "serious bizzniz" as they say in East Europe.

QUOTE: A man who knocked over four passers-by after being bottled in a pub fight has been jailed for 20 years.

Choudry Razaq, 26, got behind the wheel in a "rage" after the fight in Hounslow, west London, and drove into the innocent men - leaving two with life-threatening injuries.

His trial at the Old Bailey heard he left them "for dead" in the early hours of 25 September 2022.

Gabriel Sjnevicius, Hanad Duhaut, Harris Koneswaran and Abdi Moallim had witnessed the altercation outside the White Bear pub but were not involved.

The friends carried on walking and were heading to watch a boxing match on television when Razaq - who was already banned from driving - drove into them at about 33mph.

Bodies were left "scattered across two driveways" after the silver Chevrolet hit the group, the trial heard.

Mr Sjnevicius was flung on to the roof and landed on a brick wall, sustaining multiple skull fractures.

Mr Duhaut was left in a foetal position with a serious head injury near another wall, and Mr Koneswaran was spreadeagled on his back.

Mr Moallim was the least injured and the only one still conscious.

The jury was told Razaq - who had a head injury from the bottle attack - washed his clothes when he got home and booked a flight to Pakistan.

He was later arrested at Heathrow and refused to answer questions in a police interview. ENDS

Sounds fair. All mere chav-cyclists who purport to be drivers should be
treated robustly.

QUOTE: Jurors were shown police body-worn video footage of the victims lying among the debris of a collapsed wall as officers rushed to their aid.

Mr Sjnevicius had been flung on to the car’s roof and landed on the brick wall, suffering multiple skull fractures.

Mr Duhaut was lying in a foetal position near another wall, having suffered a significant head injury, and Mr Koneswaran was lying spreadeagled on his back.

Mr Moallim was the least injured and the only one who was conscious, the jury was told.

After the crash, Razaq was treated in hospital, put his clothes in the wash and booked a flight to Pakistan, jurors were told.

He was arrested at Heathrow Airport as he attempted to flee the country and declined to answer questions in a police interview.

The defendant, from Feltham in west London, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm on three of the men and attempted actual bodily harm to a fourth but denied intent.

He also admitted dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.

Detective Constable Hollie Collins said: “This is a tragic case where one man’s intentional, merciless and unprovoked attack will affect the four victims and their families for the rest of their lives.

“It was due to the speedy work of the team of investigators that Razaq was arrested so quickly and prevented from evading justice by fleeing the country.

“Thankfully, all the victims involved survived, but their lives will never be the same and they continue to struggle with the after-effects of this shocking offence.

“I’d like to thank the victims and their families for their unwavering courage, resilience and patience throughout this investigation.” ENDS

Of course not!

It’s incongruous - to say the least - that four friends going home to watch
a boxing match and who were mown down simply because they were where they
were could be called ‘a recipe for disaster’.

The clue lies in comment that “The friends were walking past the pub on
their way to watch a boxing match on television…”.

But that’s the sort of thoughtless knee-jerk comment we have come to
expect.
