Mum who was abused and had house targeted in bitter neighbour dispute took her own life - after SHE was arrested

A "loving" mum tragically took her own life after a bitter dispute between neighbours in Lincolnshire, an inquest has heard.

Sytske Luikens, 51, of Bentley Street in Cleethorpes, was tragically found dead on a farm track next to her car off the B1225 near Caistor on June 19 last year. The social worker had mental health difficulties, which are believed to have worsened after a bitter dispute between her and her neighbours escalated, with the single mum being arrested after an accusation of racial discrimination.

A hearing at Cleethorpes Town Hall heard rubbish was regularly thrown over the wall of her home, and when she challenged those she believed were responsible she allegedly faced a torrent of verbal sexual abuse. Her front window was shattered by a projectile, believed to have come from a passing car and items continued to be thrown over her garden wall. When she responded she was accused of racial discrimination and later arrested by Humberside Police.
