Oldham fire crew helps end jail protest
Date published: 16 September 2015
A prisoner who scaled the roof of Manchester Prison - Strangeways - ended his one-man protest after three days with the help of an Oldham fire crew.
Murderer Stuart Horner (35), who was jailed in 2012 for killing his uncle, came down from the roof in the early hours. A fire crew from Oldham was among the team that brought him down with a raised platform.
During his protest over prison conditions, he caused thousands of pounds worth of damage by pulling up roof trusses and using them to smash large skylights and CCTV cameras.
