Corrine and Peter Rotherham's dream of a peaceful life in Urchfont, Wiltshire, turned into a nightmare due to their neighbour, Zoi Hayes, 68. After purchasing their £675,000 bungalow in 2011, the couple faced relentless harassment from Hayes, who spied on them, threw dead moles into their garden, and disrupted their gatherings. Despite a restraining order issued against Hayes, she continued her abusive behavior, including running her lawnmower during a dinner party to annoy the couple and their guests. The Rotherhams, who invested thousands in privacy measures, described their ordeal as living with a 'Peeping Tom.' In a recent court appearance, Hayes admitted to breaching the restraining order, with sentencing pending. Although she moved away earlier this year, the couple remains affected by the years of harassment, which has taken a toll on their mental health and marriage.
