'Organist's pickaxe killers ran away laughing Mr Greaves died in hospital three days after the attack. Sheffield Crown Court heard that the pair, who were close friends, had been drinking lager and rum, before heading out to find someone to assault. Mr Smith said that Mr Greaves had left his home in High Green, Sheffield, at 11pm to walk to St Saviour's Church, where he was the organist. Mr Smith told the jury: "He left his home that night carrying his briefcase and leaving his wife and children and friends there. He never returned home. In the course of his journey he was set upon and savagely beaten to the head with such force he suffered unsurvivable head injuries. Mr Smith said that robbery was not the motive as nothing was taken from Mr Greaves. A pickaxe was later found at Bowling's sister's home, which matched a fragment of wood found on Mr Greaves. Prosecutors said scientific analysis of the pensioner's damaged hat showed that a second weapon must have been used in the assault. The court heard that the alleged culprits were identified by a number of people after police released CCTV footage of two men at a press conference. Mr Foster handed himself into police but told officers that Bowling was responsible for the attack and he "played no part in it." He claims he was too scared of Bowling to report him, saying that Bowling had told him that he would "set your kids on fire and torture you" if he mentioned it to anyone. The court heard that Mr Foster told one friend that Bowling had sworn at the pensioner and then ran over and "smashed him" over the head. When Mr Greaves tried to get up, Bowling hit him again. Mr Foster claimed Bowling told him: "That's me being normal, so imagine me when I'm on one." The prosecution rejects his claims, saying that CCTV evidence showed the two men together, and the evidence of two weapons being used also pointed to them both being responsible. Bowling admits murder but Mr Foster does not.
