A wealthy couple endured a seven-year harassment campaign by a neighbour who set up dozens of bizarre scarecrows to overlook their garden, a court heard.
Company director John Riches and his partner Margaret O’Hanlon’s nightmare began in 2011 when they applied for permission to convert a garage at their home in Hitcham, Suffolk, into a two-bedroom bungalow.
Until then, magistrates at Ipswich were told, relations with their neighbour Kevin Maynard had been civil.

Mr Riches was forced to build a 10ft-high fence between his property and that of his neighbour but Maynard retaliated by lining up a string of life-size scarecrows over the barrier
After revealing their building plans, the couple suffered years of threats and abuse.
Businessman Mr Riches said the relationship became so strained that he was forced to build a 10ft-high fence between his property and that of his neighbour.
But Maynard retaliated by lining up a string of life-size scarecrows to look over the barrier.
Magistrates handed 60-year-old Maynard a two-year restraining order, and they warned him that any breach of the terms could see him sent to prison for up to five years.
He was warned against contacting neighbours or approaching Mr Riches or Ms O’Hanlon, who live in a thatched home next door to Maynard’s former council house in the village near Stowmarket.
After the hearing, Mr Riches, 60, who runs a security company, spoke of enduring ‘seven years of hell’ while living next to the jobbing gardener.

‘Things have got much, much worse over the years,’ he said. ‘The situation was so bad that we were forced to put up a 10ft-high fence between our property but he still put weird life-size effigies on poles overlooking our garden.
‘Letters have been circulated about us – put through every letter box in the village – and frankly this campaign against us has spoiled our lives here from the day we arrived.’
Issuing the restraining order last month, which lasts until November 2020, magistrates warned Maynard, who lives alone, that if he breaches any part of the order he ‘will commit an offence and may be sent to prison for up to five years’.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
