A shocked householder returned home to find two drunken men inside her home - which had been extensively damaged and even had blood and excrement on the floor.
The woman went out on the night of August 19 last year to stay at her friend's home and when she returned the following afternoon she was shocked to hear men shouting inside her home in Sunderland. She recognised Bradley Fitzsimon, having had a previous association with him, and there was another uninvited man inside.
Neil Pallister, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court: "She walked through the living room, past the kitchen and noticed the house was in a complete mess, which it had not been when she left it. There was blood on the floor, excrement on the floor and there were spots of blood on the laminate in the living room.
