Bunny keeps you guessing.The man found guilty of murdering retired teacher Betty Yates in Worcestershire and a vicar in Gloucstershire was a psychopath who lived on the fringes of society. Stephen Farrow, 48, travelled the country widely and frequently, carrying his belongings with him in a rucksack and sleeping rough. He had an unstable childhood and was described as an 'uncontrollable child' who took pleasure in killing peoples' pets and shooting a swan with an air gun.

His mother said she had 'understood there to be something very wrong' with him as a child. Following several assessments he was found to have Severe Dangerous Personality Disorder (SDPD). When Farrow was 10 he had set fire to a church altar and stood and watched as it burned. He was expelled on his first day of school, experienced bullying, fighting, using weapons, setting fires and robbery.įarrow went on to claim he had been abused as a child by the priests at his boarding school. He was found by psychiatrists to be a pathological liar, with a 'grandiose sense of self-worth'. He was arrogant, opinionated, showed no respect for the views of others and was deemed 'dangerous', 'very dark' and 'fraudulent'.įear and loathing of religion ran through his whole life. Farrow maintained the Church was very important to him, yet he was scornful of religious figures and wanted to kill the Archbishop of Canterbury. He described himself as 'prophetic' and said he was able to predict events before they happened.įarrow admitted he had originally planned to crucify Rev Suddards and saw his life in terms of 'light and dark', 'white and black', 'good and evil'. He spoke of the significance of the year 2012 - believing it would mark the start of the second coming of Christ. His psychopathic tendencies led Farrow to be superficially charming and he manipulated people using scams - often directed against the Church.

He used his religious knowledge to 'use and abuse' the kindness of others by 'wiggling' his way into their lives. He chatted to people about the bible and made them feel he was interesting.Ĭonsultant forensic psychiatrist, Dr Tim Rogers, said there are 20 traits of a psychopath - when each is given a score of up to two.
