Neighbour from hell tells man that he has 'body bag waiting for him' during terrifying revenge campaign

A neighbour from hell repeatedly branded another man a 'grass' and threatened that he had a 'body bag waiting' for him, after he was reported to the police for antisocial behaviour.

Robert Cockerline also played music loudly, slammed doors and banged on the other man's door during a frightening revenge campaign. The angry and threatening troublemaker, 55, admitted stalking the victim and during a sentencing hearing, a court heard that he has convictions for 44 previous offences, including many for harassment.

Cockerline and the other man were neighbours in flats with a shared communal entrance and staircase, prosecution barrister Andrew Stanex told Hull Crown Court. In October of last year, the man complained to the police about Cockerline's behaviour and he was arrested, Hull Live reports.
