Landlord lets 'disgraceful' hazard filled house to young family then sues mum

A mum spoke of her anger after being sued by the landlord of a house she claims was so dangerous her children were hospitalised by a suspected carbon monoxide leak.

Shantelle Williams says during her time at the house in Stanton Crescent, Kirkby, mounds of rubbish, including hypodermic needles, had been dumped in the garden, doors and windows were broken and the boiler did not work.

As well as the gas incident, Shantelle claimed one of her young boys fell after leaning against loose spindles in the staircase, and in recent weeks a faulty electrical circuit board caught fire in the early hours of the morning.
