A 28 year old churchwarden has been found guilty of murder, after tricking his victim, into changing his will for his benefit. Ben field manipulated Peter Farquhar who was 69, duping him into a relationship and then lacing his food with drugs and neat alcohol. However field was found not guilty, of the attempted murder of a retired headmistress who was 83, and whom field also admitted, hed tricked into a relationship. Tom symonds has the story. A respected former teacher and novelist, Peter Farquhar rendered helpless. He had suffered falls, injuries, he had no idea what was going on. I actually. Used to be sort of. Competent. Of course. That second voice is the man who talked his way into peters life. Despite the age difference, his student, ben field, promised to marry him while secretly lacing peters food with drugs and neat alcohol, killing him slowly for his money. Here is a cold, calculating, devious man, who took pleasure from inflicting both physical and mental torment on his victim. Evil. Peter even dedicated a book to field. In return, field tried to convince people he had dementia, and then peter was found dead. Alcohol was suspected. Suspiciously, he had signed his home over to ben field. But field wasnt done. Three doors down from the house where peter lived, he found another elderly victim. And the deception started again. A sexual relationship with Ann Moore Martin, a 57 year age gap. He targeted her religious beliefs. Bizarre messages started appearing on her mirrors. Ben field had planned it all in his notebook, and, then, this. Hello, im thinking of withdrawing all my accounts, money held in my accounts. £27,000. But ann also told her niece what was going on and the police got involved. They found out about fields abusive relationships. They exhumed and re examined peters body. The jury today found ben field had suffocated him. He had already admitted defrauding peter and ann. Fields friend, martyn smith, was cleared of charges that hed helped. In a Statement Read by the police, Peters Family said there were lessons to be learned. If people hear this story, we hope they are very, very careful if somebody unexpected walks into the life of a loved one when that loved one is vulnerable and lonely. There must be other people out there like ben field and we wouldnt want anyone to have to go through the things that we have. In the quiet village of maids moreton, this was a chilling case. Two devout but Vulnerable People mentally and physically exploited. Sadly, Ann Moore Martin also died of natural causes. Ben field, his picture hanging over her dressing table, had blighted her final years. Tom symonds, bbc news, oxford crown court. Now on bbc news, in a country where its expected your extended family will look after you in old age, what do you do if they long ago rejected you 7 thats a question for most of pakistans tra nsgender community. One member of the community is setting up pakistans first retirement home for transgender people. Mobeen azhar has been to lahore to meet her. This edition of our world contains adult themes. Once upon a time in the pakistani city of lahore, lived a super glam guru. Ashee was the talk of the town, and after hours artist. Ashee is a khawaja sehra, someone who describes herself as neither male norfemale, in pakistan commonly known as third gender. But entertaining is the preserve of the young, and as the years went by, ashee realised more and more of her community faced destitution when they could no longer work. This is the story of guru ashees quest to change the future of the third gender people in old age. The history of the indian subcontinent is rich with stories of third gender people. During the mughal empire, from the 16th century, they were advisors to the ruling class and experts in the arts. The reality today is much less romantic. I am about to meet one of the most revered members of the community, known affectionately as guru ashee. guru literally means teacher they are the elders of the third gender community, and are like surrogate mothers. Tonight, guru ashee has invited me, along with her chela hs, or students, to a private party. Im fine. You look very nice. Thanks guru ashee and her students are expected to get the party started. But there is more to it than that. There is a deeply held belief that those like ashee, third gender, can bring good fortune to the soon to be married. The business of dancing at weddings has taken a hit since pakistan has moved towards a more conservative reading of islam. Upbeat music. So tonight, as the money rains down, ashee makes the most of her role as master of ceremony. I loved doing that, it was really loud and brash tonight, and it was all the things that pakistan is famous for, and all the reasons that i love this place, and it is rare that you see Something Like that. But these events are few and far between. This is a family that she has history with, she has danced for them for a long time, and they take care of her. But realistically, how long is she going to be able to do that . Away from the bright lights and music of lahores party scene, guru ashee has been working on a project that she hopes will one day become her legacy. For the last eight years, she has been developing a retirement home for third gender people. It has everything you could need to stay well in old age even a running machine. Once complete, guru ashee hopes it will become home to a0 members of her community. Though there are no official figures for the third gender community, it is estimated to be close to half a million people. Less than ten miles away is heera mandi, or the diamond market, one of lahores worst kept secrets. Almost everyone knows about this place, but its rarely referenced in polite conversation. It is where societys outcasts have lived together for generations. It is currently home to guru ashee and many of the people who will eventually move to the retirement home. Madhu, who i met at the retirement home, has invited me to her place for the evening. She rarely ever takes the night off work, so tonight ill join her while she waits for clients. Madhus got her first client of the evening, but before they get the business, he has agreed to speak to me. Madhu told me all of her clients are men and identify as straight. They are either married or, like this guy, plan on marrying a woman soon. In a fiercely patriarchal society, these men make little distinction between women and those who identify as third gender. Sex workers like madhu generally charge less than women, and for some clients, that makes all the difference. Whilst madhu finishes up with her client, i spend some time with madhus housemate nimo, who i also met at the retirement home. Sex workers have a shelflife. In the not too distant future, madhu is going to need help just to survive. Madhu cant return to herfamily because they dont accept her as third gender. In a nation where the extended family system is the default for care in old age, what happens when that system rejects who you are . Khuram lives in the diamond market area. Today he is trying his best to fit in with the bearded men in prayer caps. But it wasnt always like this for khuram. In fact, khuram used to be saima. Khuram works as a tailor, making clothes for the third gender community, clothes he no longer wears himself. I want to understand why he now dresses as a man. There is this real sense of sadness, and thats because hes not entirely being himself. He said it, hes not. Khuram, thats who he was born, thats who he was assigned to be, and he was raised as a boy and then there is saima, and saima is who he feels his spirit is. And he says straight out that he misses saima. He says saima comes out in the day a few times, in a bit of his speech or in a bit of his attitude, but he cant live and dress, and most importantly, probably, he cant love the way he wants to. Good evening, everyone. You guys are listening to fm 91 with our very special guest, guru ashee butt. Tonight, on one of lahores most popular radio stations, guru ashee is using her celebrity status to win over a National Audience and draw attention to the plight of her people. To have references to things like hiv and to people rejecting members of their own family and social stigma to have that on mainstream radio and to be starting those conversations in this country is pretty revolutionary, actually. The idea that being third gender is so unacceptable that it cant be tolerated is the cause of social isolation for many third gender people. Now khuram is getting older, hes attempting to conform. Hes turned his back on his third gender identity. He is now a fixture at his local mosque. Sure there is a spiritual element, but its also about the practicalities of being accepted back into the care and relative stability of his family. Here, its just accepted that third gender people will lose their dignity, families and the promise of care in old age just for being who they are. Before i leave pakistan, i want to catch up with guru ashee. Today at the retirement home, she is handing out food to lahores third gender community. Guru ashee is changing long established attitudes and demanding care in later life for the third gender. The retirement home isntjust a bricks and mortar. Its about building a new type of future, one that brings a chance at dignity, care and love in old age to guru ashee and her community. We have already seen impacts on the wet and windy weather and there will be more to come. Still quite warm overnight for england and wales, lighter winds for scotland and northern ireland, some mist and fog patches and we will see more of these heavy and thundery downpours developing through the day. Quite a few to begin with across wales and the south west of england, those will ease through the afternoon, and showers more fleeting further east across england, because it will be so windy for england and wales, widespread gales, gusts of 60 miles an hour around southern coast, it wont be as warm or muggy either, with typical temperatures into the low 20s. Lighter winds for scotland and northern ireland, the winds ease down elsewhere as we head into the second half of the weekend. But there will be more showers around, they will develop more widely for england and wales and a spell of rain slow moving across central and southern scotland in the far north of england. Underneath that it will feel quite cool for the time of year, 00 28 57,834 4294966103 13 29,430 15 or so, 22 in the south east
