    Vicar And Pensioner Murders: Man Charged

    Sky News – Wed, Feb 22, 2012

    A 47-year-old man has been charged with the murders of a vicar in Gloucestershire and an elderly woman in Worcestershire.

    Stephen Farrow will appear at North Avon Magistrates Court on Thursday.

    He is accused of killing Reverend John Suddards in Thornbury, near Bristol, earlier this month and the murder of Betty Yates in Bewdley in January.

    Mr Suddards, 59, was found stabbed to death at his vicarage last week.

    Mrs Yates, who was 77, was found dead at her home near the River Severn. She had also been stabbed.

    Detectives from Avon and Somerset Police have been working alongside colleagues from West Mercia Police in investigating the two deaths.

    DCI Neil Jamieson, of West Mercia Police , said: "I would like to express my gratitude to those members of the public who have helped us and responded to our appeals.

    "I would also still encourage people to come forward and talk to us if they have information which could assist our inquiry."

    Farrow was arrested in Folkestone, Kent, on Sunday after a nationwide manhunt.

    He also faces a charge of burglary relating to a property in Thornbury.

      As a resident of Thornbury,i'd say "Well done" to police+public who helped solve these two crimes so quickly. Someone who murders twice in two months needs to be caught PDQ

      To think, if one such feral individual exists many more may whose actions have not yet been connected. A sobering thought.

      Farrow will be well looked after for the rest of his life-he wont need to go to work,he'll have his own room,he'll be protected,he'll have a menu, he may even get a degree from the open university.Humanitarianism,like anything else,,when taken to extremes turns into its opposite.

        Dear Michael - I wish I could see more humanitarianism around. I see only vitriol and hatred.

      Nigel you are Bang out of order!!! I don't know about you or the abuse you suffered in a religious environment but It was the church close to where I lived that I turned to when I was penniless I got food, warm clothes and finally a job offer so I was able to stand on my two feet again. Its not this man that abuse you you don't have any right to condemn him at all.

      The good side to all this is that he killed 2 child abusers - both told religious lies to children.

      What most people are unaware of is that one of the tactics of the anti-white Orwellian state is when they have an unsolved crime or a murder committed by an immigrant or 'ethnic' they cover it up & "solve" it by finding an innocent white british man to blame it on. Usually a homeless or vagabond who can easily be set-up.

      Who cares? She was a corrupt trash teacher who had been claiming a massive retirement pension for 25 years (at taxpayers expense) and he was a disgusting pervert.

      They are both burning in hell now. Why do we bother about these evil monsters?
