A gay man who moved his neighbour's bin said he received homophobic death threats in a menacing note stuck to a door hours later. Josh Val Martin says he moved the bin while searching for a Buddha statue which regularly goes missing outside his flat in Heaton Moor, Stockport.
The 30-year-old writer and tour guide returned the bin to 'roughly' the same position. Yet soon after, Josh noticed a menacing note on the communal front door of his apartment block, in which the neighbour vowed to 'put an end' to him.
The note said: "To Mr Gay, if you move my bin I will put an end to you. You may find an ex merenary (sic) ex Royal MM (sic) may call on you not to have a chat but to destroy."
