A convicted murderer who scaled the roof of Strangeways prison has ended his protest after three days after reportedly being offered pizza and a can of coke.
Stuart Horner, 35, who was locked up in 2012 for shooting his uncle dead, came down from the roof of the Manchester prison during the early hours of Wednesday morning.
On Sunday he clambered up an 18ft wall of the prison's secure exercise yard before stripping to his underpants.
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.
Prison officials tried to use a fire brigade cherry picker crane to reach him to try talking him down after the protest began at about 3.30pm on Sunday.
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.
The Manchester Evening News reported that at around 3am as he made his way down from the roof in a 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.
Over the three days, members of the public congregated outside the prison and held "party protests" in the middle of the street.
People danced to music and others left messages to prisoners on a sheet.
