Christmases all at once.

For those that don't know, for 10 years we lived next door to a very unsavoury family that went out of their way to make our lives a living hell. The son, Mark Weston, has today been found guilty of murder, a murder which took place 15 years ago. He was tried for it once, but was found not guilty because of a lack of evidence, however, since the double jeopardy law was relegislated in 2005, it was reopened. He was tried at Reading crown court, and today found guilty because of new DNA evidence.

For the last 6 years mark weston made our lives unbearable, he made countless anonymous phone calls to the police with ever growing accusations about us, including, firearms in the house, our home being used as a drug factory, child abuse, violence etc etc. The list is endless. The police couldn't do anything because the calls were made anonymously, our housing association had their hands tied too.
To be honest, we were afraid of how far the harassment would escalate. To the point where I would no longer take the dogs for a walk, or feel comfortable letting the kids out to play.

He and his family lied about us constantly (as they had done the previous occupants of the house we lived in) and the verbal abuse was daily. They turned the rest of the village against us, turned my husbands parents against us, and caused us to live in fear and isolation.

We moved because of them, and had to rebuild our relationship because of them. But we pulled through. Knowing that justice has finally been served has made today one of the best days of my life.
