The whole thing was very reminiscent of a displaced state of rage against, not a real life relationship with Wendy, but a displaced relationship from another relationship with a woman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That was the primary motivating force behind the\u2014the killing of Wendy.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The case horrified the nation as it emerged Farrow, then 33, tied receptionist Wendy up with a pair of stockings, forced her to wear blue mule shoes before raping and then stabbing her to death.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Channel 5 programme showed how this detail gave investigators an insight into the killer&#8217;s psyche at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A pair of shoes appeared at the scene which were not Wendy&#8217;s,&#8217;
