In August 2008 David Constantine admitted putting his neighbours, a man and his wife, in fear of violence. He had subjected them to a catalogue of violence including threats to kill and firing an airgun while they were having a barbecue in their garden in Lanchester, County Durham. A judge gave him six months to sell his house or face prison. A ban on his visiting the property has now been lifted as he has been unable to sell the house. He has been given a six month suspended jail sentence with the provision that he does not cause nuisance to his neighbours or communicate with them.
