Summary:
Graham Backhouse was a farmer who wasn't well received by his community. One morning, Graham found a dead sheep's head on his property with a note reading 'You're next'. Later, his wife Margaret needed Graham's car to run errands, but when she started it a bomb ignited and nearly killed her. Graham then received another death threat. Shortly after, the police responded to a call from the farm. Graham had shot and killed his next door neighbour supposedly out of self-defense. Police questioned Graham and found he had actually manipulated the crime scene, the death threats and the bomb all to benefit from his wife's life insurance
