    Terence Finlay was stabbed to death at the house where he lodged with Beryl Jackson and Gerald Prosser. Only one - or both - of these people could have committed the crime. The prosecution argue they jointly killed the victim whom they had manipulated and financially exploited for some time.

Both defendants admit to criminal pasts and have to explain how large sums of money entered their bank accounts around the time similar amounts were withdrawn by Finlay.

However he and his defence team argue that his techniques were very successful and that Benjamin's suicide was a heavily influenced by his relationship with his mother. In addition a devastating revelation she made just before his death may have tipped him over the edge.
