Trial of terrorist who killed eight people on New York City cycle path begins 12 more people were injured in attack by Sayfullo Saipov on Halloween 2017 cycling
The trial of a terrorist who drove a rented van onto a busy cycle path in Manhattan, killing eight people, has begun in New York City.
He said that his client expected to die in the attack, but said that imposing the death sentence sought by prosecutors – which would also need to be unanimously ratified by a jury – would bestow the martyrdom on him that he had been seeking when he carried it out. A further eight people were injured, including another Belgian, Marion Van Reeth, who was riding rented bikes with her husband and children, and who had her legs amputated as a result of the injuries she sustained in the attack.
Another witness, lawyer Carolea Goldfarb, was nearly struck by Saipov and described how she saw four cyclists “who went up in the air” after he crashed into them.
