A 23-year-old man accused of murdering a “Good Samaritan”, who was hit by a car in Sheffield last week while trying to help a stranger, will face trial later this year.

Chris Marriott, 46, had been trying to help a woman he saw unconscious in the street during a disturbance in the Burngreave area of Sheffield on 27 December, police have said.
