Stephen McHugh has admitted the manslaughter of Rebecca Steer but denies murder.
A jury has retired to consider whether an Oswestry man used "his car as a weapon" and deliberately drove it at a crowd of young people outside a town centre takeaway, killing a 22-year-old woman.Rebecca Steer died in Oswestry on May 9 after being hit by McHugh's gold Volvo
In summing up the case for the prosecution, following McHugh's two-week trial at Stafford Crown Court, on Tuesday, Kevin Hegarty KC told the jury that McHugh's actions that night were driven out of"anger". "So he took the opportunity to continue the violence he had started in Red Square by kicking a man in the head."
He continued:"Mr McHugh told you that when he reversed, he didn't even look in his mirrors. He just went into reverse and went backwards. Does that look like anger? Indeed it does. "With the speed everything happened, no-one in that Volvo, never mind the driver, could spot somebody outside the Grill Out and know they were involved in the Red Square incident," he said.
