Report into grooming killing of parishioner Peter Farquhar by churchwarden calls for more open culture
A retired teacher who was abused and murdered by a churchwarden was vulnerable to being exploited because he hid his homosexuality from the conservative church he attended, an independent investigation has found.
Peter Farquhar, 69, was subjected to physical and mental abuse by Benjamin Field, who killed him in 2015. Field, then 28, was jailed for life last year after admitting poisoning, gaslighting and defrauding Farquhar to inherit his wealth.
