Attack of the Fanboy
A years-long neighborhood dispute in North London ended in court after a 76-year-old man admitted to destroying his neighbor’s pond and killing the fish inside.
What began as complaints about a noisy water pump eventually escalated into criminal damage that left several fish dead.
Recommended VideosGerry Duffy claimed the constant sound of the pond pump kept him awake at night because his studio apartment backed onto the neighboring garden, Dexerto reported.
His defense said he was told switching off the pump would harm the fish, so the dispute continued without a solution.
Stern also described the incident as completely out of character for his client, saying frustration and exhaustion had pushed Duffy to act.
