| Spree killer Harry Street pleads guilty to making bomb | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A mass killer who shot five people dead in 1978 has admitted possessing firearms and making an improvised explosive device. | |
| Ex-Broadmoor patient Harry Street, 70, was caught with the bomb, as well as 50 homemade bullets, a revolver and two pistols at his Birmingham home in 2013. | |
| Street, who was freed from detention in the mid-90s, pleaded guilty ahead of a trial at Birmingham Crown Court. | |
| In 1978 he shot three neighbours and a couple who ran a filling station. | |
| Street, of Hazelville Road, Hall Green, admitted possessing the explosive device, and the prosecutors accepted his not guilty pleas to four other charges. | |
| He had already pleaded guilty at previous hearings to three charges of possessing a prohibited firearm and a count of putting a neighbour in fear of violence between 2009 and 2013. | |
| Street, originally called Barry Williams, was detained under mental health laws in 1979 for killing his three neighbours in West Bromwich and the couple who ran the filling station in Warwickshire. |
