Yes in a sudden power cut you often find yourself with a handy hammer in your hand…..

WHAT on EARTH took them so long to go to their Mum's house??!!  If the son, son in law and all her family knew this tenant was suspicious, they didn't have the time to go to her home and check this guy out???  Take care of your people, people!

21 years and 4 years for the brutal murder of the innocent mother and grandmother!?!?!?!?
!!! What is wrong with Justice system all over the world!?!? Dispicable! Disgusting! Period.

In America they would both have got life sentences. The fact that Mark's accomplice  David only got 4 years is a disgrace.

vile beings 😢  sentences for both are absolutely shameful

I would refuse to let my mother rent a room to some stranger

What a despicable pair. Their prison sentences were a joke. Disgusting.

Such a beautiful  kind lady, with a wee medical problem.!! Qst; Why waiting almost two weeks to react,knowing she is alone with a bad lodger.??.  So sad.!

It's obvious what happened - the two men were high on drugs and already hated the landlord because they had to pay rent and abide by rules. That poor woman, RIP.

What a horrid pair of pathetic Monsters , Rest in Peace Lovely Trusting Lady .

I can't understand why Antonietta's children hadn't helped her so she wouldn't have to take a lodger or, at the very least, to do reference checks on the lodger. What a strange arrangement.

Justice system is messed up. It has failed a lot of victims and families

That friend who witnessed David throwing away the hammer couldn't have driven back later to recover it, now, could he! 🤨

Marc bringing his mother to the viewing was a red flag. This was a way of getting false trust because his mother was with him.

My thoughts go out to this lovely family. May those monsters rot in hell!

We had a divorced neighbor lady who rented out the 3 extra bedrooms in her home and she did it for years. She went through the local community college where foreign students (potential renters) were vetted. She had students from Japan, China, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia over the years and it worked out great for her. They paid her for room and board (she provided and prepared their meals) and they had their own rooms but were welcome throughout her house. If they had guests they were either visiting family members(who could stay for a couple nights) or other students who never stayed over night. She really enjoyed those kids, they were funny and respectful. I don't remember her ever mentioning problems because they were either in classes or in their room studying, some had part time jobs. On occasion, on a weekend night a group of their friends from college would stay till late listening to music, playing video games or watching movies in the rec room, but never expected to sleep over. She was payed in advance for a predetermined amount of time through the organizing agency at the college.

That said, she'd never have welcomed a random person off craigslist or the internet, so there was a level of security.

Why did the Two scumbags get such Little time in prison.Disgusting!

Better live alone than renting out to strangers. Family should have taken charge and chased those lodgers out.

How come none of the neighbours saw David cllmbing in and out of the window? That poor lady...

Rental laws for individual rooms in a private home should be on the side of the homeowner….if the homeowner is not comfortable it’s only reasonable the tenant leave,they have no right to continue victimising the landlord in their own private space,especially when no rent is being paid.
