Warning: Contains the outcome of the murder investigation dramatised in The Sixth Commandment.
In November 2015, The Guardian published an obituary for retired English teacher Peter Farquhar under its “Other Lives” umbrella – a feature that pays tribute to the legacies of non-public figures. Written by a former pupil, it commemorated Peter as having inspired a love of literature in his students, who remember him with respect and affection. Peter had been found dead, aged 69, at his home in Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire on October 26th of that year. His death had not been considered suspicious.
Just over two years later in January 2018, Farquhar’s name was back in the press, this time as a suspected victim of murder. Two of Peter’s students at the University of Buckingham, 27-year-old deputy church warden Ben Field and magician 31-year-old Martyn Smith, had been arrested in connection with his death, and with that of his 83-year-old neighbour Ann Moore-Martin.
