Award-winning actor Timothy Spall will play Edinburgh-born Peter Farquhar, who was killed by Ben Field after a campaign of physical and mental torture.

The murder of a retired Scottish teacher by an "evil" churchwarden is to be the subject of a new BBC true crime drama.

Mr Farquhar, who was also a published novelist, was found dead aged 69 in October 2015 while Miss Moore-Martin died from natural causes in May 2017. Field, 32, was found guilty of Mr Farquhar's 2015 murder at Oxford Crown Court in 2019 and jailed for a minimum of 36 years. "It also focuses on how suspicions around Field's relationship with Ann Moore-Martin, Peter's deeply religious neighbour, unlocked a series of chilling revelations.

"It also celebrates both Peter and Ann's lives as cherished mentors, much loved relatives and adored friends."
