A married couple became embroiled in a 'childlike' tit-for-tat neighbours' war with a convicted killer and his wife who lived next door, a court heard.
Mum-of-three Vanessa Keeton hurled a carton of orange juice at the home of Paul Sharpe and called him a 'f*****g murderer' after he branded her convicted kidnapper husband Michael a 'paedo' at a BBQ. During a string of shouting matches between the Stockport neighbours, Michael also claimed Sharpe's wife 'put cigarettes out on babies' while Vanessa, 32, accused the pair of hurling food over their fence into their garden.
Police who investigated the bizarre feud discovered Michael, 35, had previously been convicted of child abduction. He was given a three-year community order after snatching a toddler from a house, the court was told.
