Christopher Wright, a 73-year-old farmer from South Yorkshire, is jailed after being convicted of murdering his lodger, Richard Dyson, in 2019. Multiple outlets report that Dyson, 55, was living in his car on Wright’s land in Hoyland and carried out jobs on the farm. The two men later had a falling out. During the killing, Wright shot Dyson, then dismembered his remains. Prosecutors said Wright concealed the body in a barrel filled with concrete. Reporting across outlets states that Dyson was missing for about six years before the concealment was discovered. Wright was convicted of murder last month and is sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court. The sentencing is reported as a life prison term with a minimum period of 35 years in several accounts, while some outlets describe the result as a 35-year sentence. All sources agree that Wright was responsible for Dyson’s killing and for hiding his dismembered body in the concrete-filled barrel for years.
