Nightmare neighbour bit off my finger as row over privacy fence descended into brawl – police dogs found it days later | The Sun
08/03/2023
AS a certain TV theme tune notes, good neighbours can become good friends.
But should things go sour with the people next door, even the smallest disputes can quickly turn into a nightmare ordeal.
That’s certainly the case for Ann Breen, 71, who was harassed for nine months by her neighbour Kim Porter-Wilson, 46, in Caister-on-Sea, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
Porter-Wilson – who was slapped with a restraining order after the pair appeared in court – took photos of Ann and sounded an alarm whenever she watered her hanging baskets because she didn’t want water splashing on her garden path.
It’s just one of many horrific stories across the UK when it comes to nightmare neighbours. Here, we look at some of the very worst rows…
Bitten off finger
A six-year row over a fence went from bad to worse when a dad was forced to have his finger amputated after his neighbour James Keir bit it off.

Brian Johnston said his index finger was recovered by police dogs a day later, but it was too late for them to reattach it.
“The police found it and told me basically they couldn’t do anything with it. Dead,” he said on Channel 5’s The Nightmare Neighbour Next Door.
“The day after the assault I had to go to First Valley Hospital and get an operation to partially amputate the finger back to the bone. There is nothing worse than sitting listening to someone crunching back the bone of your finger when you’re in severe pain.”
The neighbours first fell out after Brian became fed up with James' renovations to his 26-room mansion in Reddingmuirhead, Falkirk. They also disagreed over a shared driveway and a hedge.
