A double killer who battered a defenceless West Midland pensioner with her own walking stick before stabbing her has died in prison aged 58.
Stephen Farrow, 58, was handed two whole-life sentences in 2012 for the murders of retired schoolteacher Betty Yates, 77, at her home in Bewdley, and the Rev John Suddards, 59, at his vicarage in Thornbury, Gloucestershire.
His reign of terror began in November 2011, when he broke into a cottage in Thornbury, and left a chilling note describing the occupants as 'Christian scum' and telling them they were lucky they had not been at home. The following month he returned to Thornbury where he stabbed Mr Suddards to death in his vicarage, before covering his body with gay porn DVDs.
