We couldn't believe it was him...

'Nice guy' who terrorised Liverpool parade

- BY PHIL CARDY

FRIENDS and neighbours of Paul Doyle are still stunned that the family man they knew deliberately drove his car into crowds.

In the quiet cul-de-sac where the dad-of three lived there is a sense of disbelief that the man with a “heart of gold” could be responsible for such carnage at the Liverpool victory parade.

Prosecutors said his actions on May 26 were an “act of calculated violence” and his own incriminating dashcam footage showed him angrily swearing, undertaking and jumping red lights.

But earlier the same day he had been out in his garden having a friendly chat with his neighbours.

One said: “He'd been out in the front garden all that morning, messing with trees. He was always gardening. He genuinely seemed like a nice man.”
