Back to EpisodesField's Murder Conviction Quashed, Retrial Ordered
Description
Ben Field, a former church warden, had his life sentence for murder overturned due to flawed jury directions. He was convicted for killing Peter Farquhar, but the Court of Appeal ruled that there was no proof he forced or tricked Farquhar into drinking spiked whisky. Field also targeted neighbor Ann Moore-Martin, seducing her and faking messages from God to scam her will. He remains in prison for fraud and burglary, serving sixteen years concurrently. The case has inspired a BBC drama and the retrial is awaited.
