Shaun Rimmer, who targeted ex-Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti, saw his criminal campaign come to an end when he knocked down and killed Simon Musabayana.

A thief’s shocking eight-month crime spree came to an end when he killed a much-loved mental health nurse during a police chase in Aberdeen. Shaun Rimmer committed nearly two dozen high-value robberies in the first part of 2021 with Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti among his victims.

The court was told how the duo led a "team of highly-organised, professional burglars" which targeted the now Real Madrid boss' address in Blundellsands on February 12 last year. Michael Scholes, prosecuting, described how Ancelotti's young daughter "screamed" out in horror when she realised that two men had entered via a first-floor balcony at around 6.30pm on the day in question.

Homes in Birkdale, Allerton, Crosby, Formby, Southport, Hightown, Aughton, Halsall and Neston were also targeted. Hastings and Rimmer were described as the "main participants", having been "undoubtedly in control of the entire operation". He made no attempt to hand himself in and was eventually arrested in his home city when forensic evidence linked him to the crime. Rimmer pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance and was banned from the roads for a further 14 years.
