Farrow then drank beer, ate food, watched DVDs, and left the next morning. The body was found on February 14 surrounded by pornography, party poppers, a condom wrapper, underwear, a canvas of Jesus Christ, and a mirror. This was part of a two-month reign of terror including threats to kill 'Christian scum' and a burglary where he left a threatening note to Alan and Margaret Pinder reading 'Be thankful you didn’t come back or we will have killed you, Christian scum. I f****** hate God.' Farrow had an obsession with religion, claimed abuse by a priest, and wanted to murder the Archbishop of Canterbury. He sent a chilling text on New Year’s Eve 2011 warning that the 'church will be the first to suffer' and believed 2012 marked the 'second coming of Christ.'
