Thomas Dunn, 85, was in a feud with Roy Costello, 60, over a scratched car. The two men lived next door-but-one to each other in Sandbach, near CreweA pensioner of 85 murdered his neighbour with a spade in their sheltered accommodation after a feud over a scratched car.
Eight months later, Mr Costello discovered similar scratches – this time the letter ‘z’ – on the doors of his new electric Nissan Qashqai. He reported Dunn again and, on February 19, officers from Cheshire police arrived at the complex and interviewed him. Father-of-two Mr Costello was taken to the Royal Stoke Hospital in a critical condition and spent three weeks in a coma and six weeks in intensive care. Despite his injuries, he was recovering well when he died two days after surgery to fit a feeding tube in his stomach on April 20.
She added: ‘The scene I came home to that day was absolutely horrendous, it still plays on my mind. Roy was asleep and wouldn’t have known what was happening. But I am full of what-ifs. What if I had woken him up, what if I hadn’t gone out at that time – but I can’t let myself think like that.’
