A man locked up for manslaughter over his part in the cowardly killing of a Coventry dad has died in prison. Samuel Henneberry, 64, had been in prison after being found guilty of the

manslaughter of Andrew Flamson back in 2023.

40-year-old Flamson was walking his dog when he was deliberately run over, resulting in fatal head injuries. Ashley Donald of Carpenter Road, Edgbaston was found guilty of murder. Henneberry

and Carl Tomlinson both of Westminister Road, Coventry, and Callum Ayre, 19, of Meadow Street, Coventry, were convicted of manslaughter at Leamington Justice Centre.

But the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has revealed on its website that Henneberry died on 10 May this year, less than two years into a 15 year sentence for his part in the

'revenge' plot against the Flamson over a debt. The brutal attack using a car saw three others injured, including two children - a dog also had to be put down following the

incident.

We've approached the ombudsman for more information, they responded advising an investigation was under way.

"Our investigation is underway and we will publish the final report on our website after the inquest concludes," a spokesman told CoventryLive.

Rachel Smith, sister of Andrew Flamson, later described him as a "proper 90s lad".

"A keen raver and loved a good dance, music was his life," she said. "As his sister this has had devastating consequences on me as I feel like a piece my heart has been broken and can never

be repaired. I adored my brother and we were close."
