Case 284: Widden Hill Farm
** Content warnings: Animal cruelty, gun violence **
43-year-old Graham Backhouse lived a peaceful life with his wife and children on Widden Hill Farm in Horton, England. But in 1984, a campaign of harassment directed at Graham left him fearing for his safety.
When his wife Margaret Backhouse becomes the victim of a targeted attack, investigators consider who could have a motive to hurt the loving couple. The focus soon turns on a neighbour, Colyn Beadle-Taylor, but all is not what it seems.

'Unreasonable behaviour' is a crazy way of describing attempted murder

@kerrypearce4264 2 ай бұрын

With divorce there at the time, there were specific categories and this would have been the closest fit. It’s merely an admin matter and doesn’t really matter now. Each specific category would have certain consequences and is merely part of an often complex decision-making process. And yes, it does look rather silly given the actual crime so many decades ago.

What a conniving, scheming man. What a tangled web he wove for himself, all for money. To be honest, I’m surprised Margaret agreed to the life insurance policy. It seems she knew he was a womaniser, and that the farm was in financial ruin…… if my husband had suggested it, I’d have ran for the hills! There’s a huge culture of life insurance policies in the USA isn’t there? people are always bumping each other off for sums of money. This in certainly a complicated story, cheers! ✌🏻👍🏼

Thank you for covering this case, it was very local to me at the time. I remember it very well, I was about 14 when it happened and it was on the regional news - Graham Backhouse was interviewed by local reporters regularly after his wife was blown up by the car bomb. It was a really shocking story at the time and later when he was interviewed again by the local press with stitches all over his jaw, it was even more shocking. But then even before he was charged I remember that a lot of people just didn’t believe him but we were still all really shocked that he would slash his face like that.

Convoluted but ultimately stupid murder plot. Raising the life insurance on his wife is the first thing cops look at, and when they see it, he's under the microscope from then on.

Yes, "follow the money" is the expression, isn't it? Shocking how many people don't know how disposable they can become if financial ruin is around the corner.
