The alleged murders of an inspirational elderly teacher in an old-fashioned village and his neighbor in Buckinghamshire has led law enforcement authorities to re-arrest a churchwarden and a magician for further interrogation.

Sixty-nine-year-old Peter Farquhar, the English teacher, and his neighbor Ann Moore-Martin, 83, were both found dead in the village of Maids Moreton near Buckingham, Daily Mail reports.

Dying within a year and a half of each other, the pensioners lived three houses apart in Manor Park in the said village. During the murder probe at the time, 27-year-old Ben Field, Farquhar's lodger, and 31-year-old Martyn Smith, a churchwarden, were held for questioning before being re-arrested on November 6, 2018. Both men reportedly helped look after Farquhar in his final months as his health deteriorated with age. Field moved in with Moore-Martin after his death.
