A man has been found guilty of the manslaughter of organist Alan Greaves on Christmas Eve in Sheffield.

Alan Greaves, 68, was attacked with a pick-axe handle as he made his way to St Saviour's Church, in High Green, Sheffield, on 24 December.

Ashley Foster, 22, of Wesley Road, High Green was cleared of murder after a trial at Sheffield Crown Court.

Jonathan Bowling, also 22, of Carwood Way, Pitsmoor, Sheffield had earlier admitted murdering Mr Greaves.

The jury found Foster not guilty of murder.

Confusion in court

Both men are to be sentenced on Friday.

There was confusion in court after the clerk only asked the jury foreman whether Foster was guilty of murder.

When the foreman said "not guilty" there were celebrations from Foster's family.

But as Mr Greaves' widow Maureen looked shocked and confused, the jury foreman, who had already been asked to sit, shouted "but guilty of manslaughter".

The jury of six men and six women returned its verdicts after 13 hours of deliberations.
