"Nottinghamshire Police said Fairman was taken to hospital immediately but died despite the best efforts of medical professionals. Duane Anthony, 40, was arrested on Saturday evening and appeared in court on Monday charged with five counts of attempted murder. He was also charged with aggravated vehicle taking, driving while disqualified and driving without valid insurance, and has been remanded into custody to reappear at Nottingham Crown Court on June 8."
"Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, who is leading the investigation, said: As we release the sad news of Tyler's death, our first thoughts go to his family and loved ones at this difficult time. Both they and the other people injured or affected by this collision continue to be supported by specially trained police officers. We can also confirm today that this is now a murder investigation."
"As such, criminal proceedings are active, so anything relating to this incident should be shared with the police, not online, as doing so could potentially impede the pursuit of justice. We are aware of videos of the incident circulating on social media and have informed the victims and their families of this. They have appealed to anyone who has shared or posted any such videos to take them down immediately so that Tyler's family can grieve in peace."
