A killing spree that shocked Britain - How Harry Street's rampage unfolded
Firearms fanatic Harry Street's merciless killing spree in 1978 claimed five lives and prompted front-page headlines which shocked Britain.
Street, then known as Barry Williams, was detained in Broadmoor indefinitely in March 1979 after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of his victims on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
The foundry worker's attacks on members of the public were only halted after a 30-mile high-speed car chase across Derbyshire's Peak District.
Following his arrest by officers who overpowered him, more than 900 live bullet cartridges and a 0.22-calibre pistol were found stashed inside Street's Ford Capri.
He began his rampage at about 7pm on October 26, 1978, with the "matter-of-fact" killing of three of his neighbours, George Burkitt, his wife Iris and their son
Philip.
