British mass killer dies in prison

A British mass killer who shot five people dead in 1978 has died while serving an indefinite sentence for firearms and explosives offences.

Harry Street was detained under the Mental Health Act in October after six guns, dozens of home-made bullets, and a makeshift bomb were found at his home.

The 70-year-old, who is thought to have suffered a heart attack, was pronounced dead on Christmas Eve after being taken ill at the high- security Ashworth Hospital on Merseyside.
