A man stood on his doorstep and threatened to kill his elderly neighbours on Christmas Eve while dressed in a festive onesie. Mark Lloyd suddenly appeared on the evening of December 24 last year as Wyndham and Sandra Davies were preparing for a family get-together the next day, shouting that he "couldn't wait until they were all gone."
The incident brought to a head a prolonged period of harassment and intimidation by the 34-year-old, of Heol Llethryd in Pontyberem, Carmarthenshire – behaviour which had made the couple's lives a misery. Yet the ex-miner and former auxiliary nurse's daughter Tamara said the family still don't know exactly what prompted his anti-social tirades in the first place.
"Mam and Dad have lived at that address since the '70s and when Mark first moved in about four or five years ago everything was fine," said the 54-year-old pharmacy worker. "If anything he was a bit too quick to stop for a chat every time he saw them out in the garden."
