For anyone that remembers the previous thread

I have an update now the police investigation is over. The police charged "John" with trespass, criminal damage and breaking and entering. He got 14 months in prison. We still don't know the full story, but we do now know (as some of you suspected) that was letting my DM's house on a well known website.. (ABNB) 🙄 the "relatives" were some of his tenants. Complete CF 😡

We never saw Jean (his wife) again after he was arrested. I believe (from Anne - who's since become a good friend) that she's moved out of her property and is planning to sell it.

The best news - after we sorted out the damage caused by John, my DM's house went back on the market and we accepted an offer a month later. It should hopefully be completing sometime in September if everything goes to plan 🤞🤞

Thanks for all your messages and support on the previous thread. It really helped! 🙂

CF's have been using my mums house as a hotel!! | Mumsnet

My dm died last year. Her house is currently empty and we're in the process of selling it (on the market but no buyer yet). The house next door is own...

Oh my gosh, I always thought it was a massive overreaction to his cfery but never for one second thought it was anything other than the relatives they originally claimed

Wow thank you for updating, such a crazy story. People really are CFs.

Oh wow! I have often thought of you. Am so sorry you went through all of that, but glad you got closure. What a shit Jean was. Glad he got jail time, his response was unhinged.

Thanks for updating us!
