Christopher Wright, 73, received a life sentence for the murder and dismemberment of his lodger, Richard Dyson.
Investigators found a name badge bearing Wright's name inside a trailer, which contained a barrel.
Further forensic examination established a definitive match between the weapon and ammunition used to kill Mr Dyson and firearms from Wright's collection.
Wright killed Dyson, the prosecution claims, when the lodger attempted to steal a gun.
Wright reportedly suspected Mr Dyson of theft, leading to their falling out; South Yorkshire Police claim the pair had argued over 'stolen guns.'
The prosecution also claims Wright suspected Dyson of stealing from him and selling possessions.
I couldn’t grieve because I did not know the truth.
Bethany Dainty, a relative of the victim, expressed the profound impact of the prolonged uncertainty: 'I couldn’t grieve because I did not know the truth.'
Separately, Schwalbe received a conviction for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
