Very well done

I know the case well after watching the true life investigation on the channel 4 program Catching A Killer: A Diary From The Grave episode. That was a really hard watch as is this. Your heart just breaks for Peter and his family. It's just so very sad how he thought he had found happiness and love late in life. Yet what he had found was a man who would go to any ends to humiliate and denigrate his victim. The murder is truly despicable in its cruelty and planning over a few years in total. He clearly got a fair bit of money from the murder but from his own accounts written down as meticulously as Peter documented his life that wasn't the only reason. He is a psychopath and just likes controlling people and ultimately that meant controlling when someone would die as well. I would be surprised if he was ever let out even after 36 years. Would he still not be a danger with that pathology? This is well done and glad it doesn't glamorise the murderer and focuses more on the victims story. The acting is very good. The Irish actor playing Ben Field is chilling in his mannerisms and voice to the real Ben. If you haven't watched the channel 4 real life investigation it's very well worth watching. I think you will come away with the impression that you have encountered real true evil from the interviews with Ben and his written words are even more disturbing.
