- Farmer Christopher Wright, 73, has been sentenced to a minimum of 35 years in prison for the murder and dismemberment of Richard Dyson.
- Wright, a former butcher, was convicted last month of killing Mr Dyson, 55, who vanished in 2019 after living in his car on Wright’s land in Hoyland, Barnsley .
- The pair fell out over suspected theft , leading Wright to shoot Mr Dyson in the arm and chest before dismembering his body and encasing it in a concrete-filled barrel.
- Mr Dyson’s remains were discovered last year hidden within the barrel, which Wright had placed on a trailer and persuaded an unwitting neighbour to store.
- Wright’s childhood friend, Karl Schwalbe, 72, also received a three-year prison sentence for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice for his role in concealing the crime.
