David Farrar dead, suspected homicide

David Farrar is a relatively uncommon name, so when I see a Google News Alert announcing a David Farrar has been found murdered, it does cause me to do a double take. He was 66.

Of course this David Farrar was said to have “no known enemies” so definitely not me!!

Incidentally there is no possibility that he was related to me, because the only Farrars related to me are my parents, brother and niece. This is because the family name was anglicised when my father’s family left Austria in 1938. It was previously Feuer.
