In a tragic incident on New Year’s Day 2021, Muhammed Gure, a 26-year-old man, was found guilty of causing the death of Paul Campbell in a hit-and-run incident in Earl’s Court, London. Gure, an economics graduate and former NHS Health Care Advisor, was sentenced to 11 years in prison by Southwark Crown Court on December 20, 2023.
The court heard that Gure, who was already disqualified from driving due to a prior drunk driving conviction in March 2020, was driving a black VW Golf hired under a friend’s name. While travelling at 50mph on a 30mph road, Gure hit Mr Campbell, a beloved family man, tossing him into the air before leaving him to die on the carriageway.
