New Year’s Day Hit-and-Run Killer Jailed for 11 Years

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.

Despite overwhelming witness evidence, Gure continued to deny being the driver responsible for the incident. However, the jury convicted him of causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving whilst disqualified, and causing death by driving an uninsured vehicle.

Following the collision, instead of seeking help, Gure briefly stopped and then fled the scene. He later conspired with his friend Haroon Aria, who falsely reported the car stolen to the police and the hire company in an attempt to cover up Gure’s involvement. Aria was convicted of attempting to pervert the course of justice for his role in the failed cover-up.

The court also learned of Gure’s reckless behaviour before the fatal incident, including continued driving despite his disqualification and a speeding offence just days before the crash.

In victim impact statements, Mr Campbell’s family expressed their profound grief and the irreplaceable loss they suffered. His son Vinny described the devastating impact of his father’s death, which has left an indelible mark on the family.

Judge Gregory Perrins, in his sentencing remarks, noted Gure’s complete lack of remorse and his attempts to prolong the case and evade responsibility. Gure’s actions on that fateful night and his subsequent behaviour during the trial portrayed a blatant disregard for the law and the value of human life.
