Anthony Sawoniuk, 84, was jailed for what remained of his life in 1999 after being found guilty of shooting 18 Jews in 1942. As a volunteer member of the Nazi police in his native Belarus, he was also believed to have been a participant in the massacre of thousands more. Sawoniuk was convicted at the Old Bailey in the UK's first war crimes after more than 50 years at liberty. The trial heard from an witness who had seen Sawoniuk, who joined the Nazi police in his home town of Domachevo after the German invasion of 1941, as he ordered two men and a woman to strip beside an open grave before shooting them in the back of the head.

Former war crimes investigator Lord Greville Janner said: \"[Anthony Sawoniuk] was a vile, Nazi murderer who will not be missed.\" Sawoniuk was said to have shot a further 15 Jews with a machine- gun as well as joining in the massacre of 2,900 others. He said he killed nobody.

The Home Office said there would be an investigation by the prison and probation ombudsman, Stephen Shaw, who monitors all deaths in custody. Norfolk police said there would be a coroner's inquiry before the body was released to his family. The trial at the Old Bailey in 1999 of [Anthony Sawoniuk], who had settled in Bermondsey, south London, followed public pressure for those who had escaped justice to answer for their part in the Nazi genocide in eastern Europe.

Former war crimes investigator Lord Greville Janner said: \"[Anthony Sawoniuk] was a vile, Nazi murderer who will not be missed.\" Sawoniuk was said to have mown down a further 15 Jews with a machine-gun as well as joining in the massacre of 2,900 Jews. He said he killed nobody.

During his war crimes trial in 1999, [Anthony Sawoniuk] was accused of killing 18 Jews while serving in the Nazi-backed police force in his hometown of Domachevo, Belarus, in 1942, including 15 Jewish women who he forced to strip and face an open grave before he shot them.

As an enthusiastic recruit to the police force established by the Nazis, [Anthony Sawoniuk] forced 15 screaming Jewish women to strip in front of an open grave, then mowed them down with a sub-machinegun, pushing them in with his knee. Alexander Baglai, a key witness, told the court how Sawoniuk forced him and a friend to watch the young woman's murder after they were caught scavenging for clothes in the Jewish ghetto. It was in 1996 - five years after a special unit at Scotland Yard had been set up to track down war criminals - that the net closed in on him. A letter he had written in 1951 to his brother in Poland, which was intercepted by the KGB, led officers to Sawoniuk's flat.

Anthony Sawoniuk, the only person to have been convicted in a British court of Nazi war crimes, died in Norwich Prison on November 6 last year at the age of 84.

Anthony Sawoniuk, who came to Britain in the guise of a Polish patriot in 1946, was serving two life sentences after being found guilty of murdering 18 Jews in his home town of Domachevo, in Belarus, four years previously. Sawoniuk's name had been spelled wrongly. Only in 1993, when the names were reviewed, did it emerge that one of the men on the KGB records had moved to Britain. In February, 2005 Sawoniuk was transferred to Norwich Prison in southeastern Britain from Kingston Jail in Portsmouth, on the southern coast, and was held in a unit for elderly life prisoners.

He later moved to Britain and worked for 25 years as a British Rail ticket collectorwhile living in Bermondsey, south London.
