When told no, he assaulted the pair, stole Dave’s Kia Sportage and then ran him over.
He suffered catastrophic injuries and died in hospital.
Ryan was left with a serious brain injury in Sheffield last September.
Richards was convicted of murder last month.
He refused to leave his cell for sentencing at the city’s crown court yesterday and was jailed for a minimum of 26 years.
Judge Jeremy Richardson KC said: “I regard the refusal of the defendant to attend court to be an act of cowardice.
“His arrogance is also demonstrated by this conduct.
“It is plain the defendant is replete with habitual violence.
“It is deeply ingrained.
“He is, in my judgment, an exceptionally volatile and dangerous man.
“I have my doubts whether it will ever be safe to release him.”
Dave’s wife of 42 years, who was not named, said: “The fact he went fishing and never came home has caused such a shock that I cannot accept it.”

The 13 best tweets the week Elon Musk killed Twitter’s legacy checkmarks
Elon Musk actually did it. Twitter stripped stripped verified users of their blue checks on Thursday (April 20).
The only people left with blue checks, barring any mixups typical of Musk’s Twitter, are those who paid for a Twitter Blue subscription. In other words, a blue check now means that you are willing to pony up $8 per month to Musk.
Celebrities, journalists, and politicians are all left without verification. And not just some writer with 3,000 followers (cough, me) — we’re talking Halle Berry, Beyoncé, and the freaking Pope.
The response to the blue-check wipeout, however, was hilarious. Musk unintentionally created a great day on Twitter as folks responded to the petty decision. Here are 13 of the best responses tweeted in the aftermath.
1.Halle Berry had a great response to losing her blue check (before she actually lost it).
2. No blue check to hold us back anymore.
3. The move does make it super easy to see who paid for Twitter Blue, and they should be blocked immediately.
4. This really has been the best part of the whole thing. It’s now super simple to know who is that desperate.
5. This is a great bit about Musk’s other endeavor, SpaceX, which had a rocket explode on Thursday.
6. And again, about the people who paid.
7. I would absolutely pay $8 to make it look like my friend paid for Twitter. 100 percent.
8. Ahhh I remember those days.
9. Margaritaville nailed it.
10. A good meme to hold on to these days.
11. A nice little gotcha on LeBron James.
12. But also maybe not?
13. And finally, my own meme. Because I can.
Man killed by a flying COW that was hit by a train and flung 100ft in freak accident while urinating on tracks
A PENSIONER who was urinating on a train track died in a freak accident when he was hit by a flying cow.
Shivdayal Sharma, 82, died instantly after an express train rammed the beasts and launched it 100ft into the air.
The wandering cow was killed by a high speed train[/caption]
The odd incident happened in Alwar, India, where the cow had wandered onto nearby train tracks.
Another person was standing nearby and narrowly escaped being struck by the projectile animal, reports say.
The trains which run through the area where Sharma was can reach speeds of up to 100mph.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that measures such as garbage and vegetation removal had begun to cull the pesky cows.
The accident has caused many to rally for better regulation on the train route, which allegedly sees a lot of incidents with cows on the train tracks.
One railway even went as far to begin erecting metal fences along the train tracks to prevent wandering cows.
Earlier this week, a farmer narrowly escaped being trampled by a rampaging cow in a horrifying video.
Shocking video shows experienced farmer Dani Blair being attacked by the cow in a calving pen before her husband Matthew managed to intervene.
The horrifying CCTV shows the cow headbutting Dani into the wall.
As she attempts to regain control of the situation she is thrown in the air and lands on the floor of the barn.
When Matthew enters the ring the cow bucks her head once more before calming down as Dani manages to crawl out the gate.
The cow’s carcass was projected mid-air[/caption]
