The Lot 106 Bagotville, West Bank Demerara resident was in tears as she explained that ever since she and her husband divorced about six years ago, there was a massive falling out with neighbours, because she, Wharton, was awarded the man’s house.
The mother of three claims that during her working hours, neighbours would vandalize her property, and carry away belongings.
“This thing going on for too long, and me ain’t able with this no more. These people come in my
