The homeless drifter bludgeoned Mrs Yates with a walking stick before stabbing her four times
at her home in Bewdley, Worcestershire (pictured).

He stabbed Reverend John Suddards at his vicarage (pictured) in Thornbury, Gloucestershire,
and watched him him die in February 2012.

The word 'help' written with a finger in blue ink on the wall in the lounge, of murder victim Rev John Suddards,
shown to a jury at court, which was only discovered when Farrow told a psychiatric nurse about it.

 

Farrow burgled Vine Cottage, Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. A note was left pinned to the kitchen table,
using two kitchen knives, which read: 'Be thankful you didn't come back or we will have killed you,
Christian scum. I f****** hate God'.

Drops of the Rev John Suddards's blood were detected on Stephen Farrow's left boot,
which he wore when he was arrested.
