Ex-church warden has murder conviction quashed at Court of Appeal
A former church warden who was jailed for life for the murder of a university...
www.hellorayo.co.ukI don’t have live access to current news in this moment. Based on recent publicly reported items up to 2026, there are two distinct individuals with similar names that could be relevant:
- Benjamin Hazard Field: A former church warden involved in a high-profile murder case in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. In 2019 he was convicted of murder and sentenced to a long term; later Court of Appeal rulings in 2026 considered directions given to juries and ordered a potential retrial, with continued involvement of the Crown Prosecution Service for possible further appeals. This case has generated significant media coverage across multiple outlets in 2026.[2][3][4][9]
- Benjamin Hazard Field (also referenced variably in some sources) is sometimes conflated online with unrelated public figures or historical mentions, but the strongest, consistently reported figure in 2026 is the churchwarden convicted of murdering Peter Farquhar in 2015, whose conviction was quashed for appeal in 2026, prompting a potential retrial.[3][4][9][2]
