"Nah, not a lot o' people know what I'm abaht to tell you, but.. if you don't leave my ahse right nah, I'm gonna take that screwdriver aht o' your grubby little pikey fingers and shove it right up your jacksie!"
The family of a suspected burglar who died after a struggle with a pensioner have pleaded with neighbours to stop tearing down tributes left outside the house where he was stabbed. A fence outside the home of Richard Osborn-Brooks, 78, in Hither Green, southeast London, has become a flash-point for tensions between locals and relatives of Henry Vincent since last week's incident, with balloons burst, cards soiled and flowers left ruined on the pavement. The 37-year-old's loved ones returned to the scene on Tuesday to re-attach tributes to the fence, but they were torn down again within minutes. Now a woman claiming to be his aunt has tried to reason with those responsible. :: 'Burglar' death: Police release image of 'accomplice' Billy Jeeves please log in to view this image Image:Henry Vincent died in a struggle "If people leave the flowers alone, within a week they'll die, we will come here, clean this road, and go and never come back," she insisted. "All we want is them just left until the flowers die and we will take them away." Elvina Lee, who said she was Vincent's first cousin, had earlier described whoever pulled down the tributes as "scum" and called Mr Osborn-Brooks a "murderer" and a "lowlife".
I said that the law allows you to use 'reasonable force' which he did. There's no need for you to get all hurt and tearful about this mate
