Prison Protest Ends For A Pizza
A prisoner who scaled the roof of Strangeways jail in Manchester has ended his one-man protest.
Murderer Stuart Horner who was locked up in 2012 for killing his uncle, came down from the roof after three days.
His demonstration began when he clambered up an 18ft wall of the prison's secure exercise yard before stripping to his underpants. During his stand-off he caused thousands of pounds of damage by pulling up metal roof trusses and using them to smash a series of large skylight windows and attack CCTV security cameras.
Horner was given a life sentence, with a minimum of 27 years before parole, for blasting his uncle Ian Taylor, 44, with a shotgun in June 2011 after a family feud. As he came down on a fire service crane, he said: I've proved my point. I've got a 12in pizza and a can of coke. I've done what I wanted. I've had a mad one.''
He is set to face punishment for breaking prison rules and probable prosecution for criminal damage.
