What happened in the horrific footage?
The chilling footage shows Mr Collinson asking the camera crew to take a shot of Dryden’s gun.

But as the camera pans to Dryden,he fires the gun. As everyone including the crew fled, Dryden shot the police officer and the reporter.

Albert Dryden gunned down Harry Collinson as journalists assembled in Butsfield,County Durham,to see his home which he built without planning permission demolished in 1991.

The murder was filmed by a BBC Look North cameraman and Dryden was later jailed for life for the murder and the attempted murder of council solicitor Michael Dunstan.

Dryden,now 76,suffered a stroke behind bars which has left him unable to talk.
He will be released from prison to live out his days in a nursing home.
Mr Collinson's older brother,Roy, was told of the killer's release by Victim Support.

He told the Northern Echo: "He’s been released because he is dying, but that doesn’t bring one iota of comfort to me.

“The whole thing is a disaster, it should never have happened. My brother shouldn’t have been killed and Dryden should never have been locked up."

Derwentside County Council moved in to demolish the bungalow on June 20, 1991, and were accompanied by staff and a number of TV and newspaper reporters.

Mr Harry Collinson, 46, was shot dead, and Mr Dunstan was seriously injured. PC Stephen Campbell was shot in the buttock and Look North reporter Tony Belmont was blasted in the arm.

Roy Collinson has always insisted the tragedy could have been avoided.

He claims it was well-known Dryden had multiple weapons and ammunition but police failed to spot the warning signs of the operation
