Attempted murder

A failed accountancy student, Salih Khater, has been convicted of attempted murder after running his Ford Fiesta into 14 cyclists and then speeding toward two police offices outside parliament.

Khater studied accountancy at Coventry University between September 2017 and May 2018, but failed the first year of his course. He is believed to have had a grudge against the government after he was refused a passport, despite the fact that he had been given British citizenship.

He will be sentenced for attempted murder on 7 October.
