Man admits to murder of church organist on Christmas Eve Mr Greaves, 68, was beaten in the street as he made his way from his home in High Green, Sheffield, to midnight mass at nearby St Saviour's Church, on Christmas eve. He was found by a passing pizza delivery driver and spent four hours in an operating theatre but never regained consciousness and died on Thursday night. The retired social worker, who was also an Anglican lay preacher, had been due to lead the service at the late-night Eucharist on the night he was attacked. His widow Maureen, a Christian outreach worker, spent Christmas praying at his bedside where he was on a life support machine, told a service of remembrance: "I have not stopped crying for him and I know you have not stopped either. I have wept over the evil that has been done. The family's parish priest described the killing as a "senseless and evil" act on a night when the church was "celebrating light coming into the darkness."
