INCLUDING MUM, ARE BANGED UP FOR CHRISTMAS

-

us her family were being treated unfairly. The mum of three, who was convicted of affray over the 2013 neighbour attack alongside her mum and brothers, said: “It’s very hard. They aren’t even allowed presents. “They need to be cut some slack – it’s Christmas.” But Lesley’s sister-in-law and the brothers’ aunt Teresa said the community had no sympathy for the mum as she faces Christmas with her nearest and dearest at Her Majesty’s pleasure. Lesley is said to be at HMP Bronzefiel­d women’s prison near Staines, Surrey. Her three sons are scattered among the trio of jails on the Isle of Sheppey i n Kent. Teresa said: “All the neighbours keep saying to me ‘I bet Lesley’s having a nice Christmas’ and laughing at her.

“The family have moved around so much because they abuse use people wherever they go.

“They are the neighghbou­rs from hell. They ey upset everyone, they y think they are superior to everyone else.

“They slashed our tyres and smashed bricks through our r window for no reason. .

“I had to board planks anks over the windows to stop the bricks from coming in.” “It’s bred into them to be violent.” Teresa claimed that Kelly also causes trouble with her neighbours.

Kelly appeared at Maidstone Magistrate­s’ Court in 2010 over the Toilet Duck attack after a row over her loud music. The court was told by Kelly’s lawyer: “She just lost it and squirted q her from the bathroom window, b but she told me that earlier water w had been squirted ove over the fence at her.” Kelly was convicted of assault a and given a 12month m conditiona­l discharge. Teresa said: “Lesley gets g a call from Kelly saying ‘Help, Mum’ and Lesley goes over to back her her.” Lesle Lesley’s husband Robert died 12 years ago. Teresa said he was a heavy drinker, adding: “He used to make the kids join in the fights with neighbours. They never went to school. “Everyone hates the family. They are just bullies. Darren is a coward. If a real man stood up to him he wouldn’t know what to do. He is psychotic.

“If he gets out of prison he will kill someone. He gets minimal sentences all the time. It’s so frustratin­g.“

Local taxi firms refuse to call at the family’s home or pick them up.

A cabbie, who asked not to be named, said: “We were told never to pick them up. They are bad news.

Weird

“I heard they had wild druggie parties where they get up to all sorts together. They are a very weird family, that’s an understate­ment.”

A mother of two who lives on the same street as Lesley said: “We are planning to have an estate party to celebrate them being locked up. Everyone on the street is delighted.”
