An author and English teacher, Peter Farquhar, was murdered by a much younger student, Ben Field. This happened in Maids Moreton in Buckinghamshire, the home of David Wilson.

Peter Farquhar was a gay Christian who found it difficult to reconcile these two characteristics. This lead to his murder.

The horrific event was the subject of a very well reviewed BBC drama series, The Sixth Commandment.  

The Wilson book was written after a Channel 4 documentary and a Radio Five Live programme but before the BBC One drama.

It is a shocking story told in gripping detail in David Wilson's book 'A Plot to Kill'. The destruction that a psychopath can reak is appalling.
