A murderer who shouted 'yahoo' as he fatally shot his landlord and former friend, before entering into a seven-hour standoff with police, has died in prison.
Peter Grass killed dairy farmer William Kenyon by shooting him twice from behind with a shotgun, leaving him in agony for five minutes before firing a third and final shot. Grass had known his victim for more than a decade and lived for seven years, on a cottage on Mr Kenyon's farm in Radcliffe, near Bury.
The pair had fallen out in the weeks leading up to the killing and Grass had been ordered to leave the property, Manchester Crown Court heard. A judge called it a 'cowardly and shocking attack' and handed him a life sentence in December 2006 with a minimum term of 26 years after a jury found him guilty of murder.
