Saeed Noori, the man who ran down 16 pedestrians when he drove a car through one of Melbourne’s busiest intersections just before Christmas last year, has pleaded guilty to murder and other charges.

Noori stood in the Supreme Court dock on Friday to plead guilty to one count of murder, over the death of Antonio Crocaris, who suffered fatal injuries when he was hit at the intersection of Flinders and Elizabeth streets on December 21, 2017.

Noori also pleaded guilty to 11 counts of recklessly causing serious injury and five charges of reckless conduct endangering death.

One of those latter charges related to placing other pedestrians in danger when he drove his mother’s Suzuki SUV through the intersection about 4.40pm.
