Vicar's killer, 18, jailed indefiiniteley

THE murderer of vicar Ronald Glazebrook, parts of whose butchered body was found on the Marsh Road between Bexhill and Pevensey, has been jailed indefinitely.

Sentencing him at Lewes Crown Court last Friday, Judge Justice Moses told Christopher Hunnisett, 18, he would be "detained at Her Majesty's pleasure".

Hunnisett drowned the Rev Glazebrook in his bath at his home in Coventry Road, Hastings in April 2000, when Hunnisett was 17, after the vicar ordered him to leave his house.

Mr Glazebrook had taken the teenager into his home to care for him while he was still in school.

After murdering the kindly clergyman, the killer chopped up the 81-year-old vicar's body in woodland while Hunnisett's friend Jason Groves stood guard.

The pair then dumped the torso at Pevensey Marshes and the head and limbs in Hastings woodland.

Hunnisett was given four years concurrent for preventing Rev Glazebrook's burial and Groves was given two-and-a-half years in a young offenders' institute for helping dispose of the remains.
