Man guilty of vicar murder

A homeless man has been convicted of the brutal murders of a former Essex vicar and a retired teacher.

Forty Eight year old Stephen Farrow was found guilty of killing John Suddards, who was 59, and seventy seven year old Betty Yates by a jury at Bristol Crown Court.

The Reverend Suddards had moved to a new parish in Gloucestershire from Witham in Essex shortly before he was stabbed to death in February of this year.

Farrow had denied the murders.
