A man who was found guilty of murdering a woman stormed out of court as he heard the verdict
. Stephen McHugh deliberately mounted the pavement and killed bystander Rebecca Steer outside a takeaway last October.
The court heard McHugh was driving a Volvo in Willow Street at about 2.45am on Sunday October 9 last year when CCTV footage showed the 28-year-old stopping the vehicle and confronting a group of people near the Grill Out takeaway. Mr Hegarty added: "At that moment Mr McHugh turned the steering wheel in the direction of the people on the pavement and then he drove on to the pavement towards that group of people. The driver's side of the car went on to the kerb, on to the footpath, and he proceeded to drive through the group.
"He was heard speaking in an aggressive way. You may well think the way he reversed the car, which was at speed and without regard to those around him, gives a clear insight into what he was thinking and what he intended to do," Mr Hegarty said. He told the jury: "I am not an angry person. I didn't really think about it. It was a moment of stupidity."
"I pay tribute to the dignified way that they have conducted themselves throughout the trial, displaying venerable strength and resilience in listening to the contemptible and narcissistic behaviour of McHugh, who continually lied throughout the trial in a desperate attempt to escape justice.
