A man has appeared in court charged with murder after a car mounted the pavement and hit a group of pedestrians, leaving one man dead.
Emergency services were called when a red Vauxhall Astra drove onto the kerb and struck several people in Arnold’s Market Place in the early hours of Saturday, May 9.
Tyler Fairman, 26, suffered life‑threatening injuries in the crash, which happened at around 1.12am. Despite being rushed to hospital, he died three days later on Tuesday, May 12.
Several others were also injured in the incident.
Duane Anthony, 40, was arrested within hours and initially charged with five counts of attempted murder.
Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday (June 29), he was formally charged with the murder of Tyler Fairman, along with five attempted murder charges and a separate offence of driving while disqualified.
Anthony, of Marton Road, Bulwell, denied all charges during the hearing.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear again at Nottingham Crown Court on September 2, with a trial scheduled for October 7.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, leading the investigation, said Tyler’s family remain in officers’ thoughts and continue to be supported by specially trained police.
She also urged the public not to speculate while proceedings are ongoing and thanked investigators for their work in bringing the charges.
