DEATH HOUSE APPEAL LOST

A couple who discovered their new home was the scene of a horrific murder have failed in their bid to get damages from the sellers.



Alan and Susan Sykes only found out about the killing through a television documentary.

They had no idea that a previous owner had butchered his 13-year-old adopted daughter and hid parts of her body around the house and garden.

Mr and Mrs Sykes could no longer bear living at the house they had bought for £87,000 in Wakefield, West Yorks, and sold it at a loss of £8,000.

They went to the Court of Appeal to seek damages from James and Alison Taylor-Rose who sold it to them in December 2000.

The couple were offered sympathy by one of the three judges hearing the case but were told the law as it stood put no obligation on vendors to disclose the history of a property.

They ruled that the Taylor-Roses had not been dishonest when they answered "no" to a question form asking: "Is there any information which you think the buyer may have a right to know?"

It was not until Mr and Mrs Sykes saw the Channel 5 documentary that they knew about what had happened in their home.

Both were traumatised and immediately moved out of the house which they put up for sale.

The TV documentary was about Dr Samson Perera, a dental biologist at Leeds University who murdered his adopted daughter, Nilanthie, in 1985.

Perera was given a life sentence. His wife Dammika, a teacher, was jailed for helping him cover up the crime.


OTHER MURDER HOUSES

There are several properties across Britain which have held morbid secrets behind their nondescript front doors.

25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester is perhaps the most infamous address in the country where Fred and Rose West buried nine of their female victims in the cellar and under the patio.

Demolition at Cromwell St

But the semi-detached house and its adjoining property have now been demolished and replaced with a pathway.

The name of Dennis Nilsen is sure make estate agents in north London nervous.

His victims were found buried in the back garden and under the floor boards of 195 Melrose Avenue, Cricklewood, and flushed down the lavatory of 23 Cranley Gardens, Muswell Hill.

The Melrose Avenue property has since been converted into flats and blessed by a priest.

10 Rillington Place in Notting Hill had the added attraction of being where John Christie murdered his wife and five other women during the 1940s.

Gruesome sightseeing trips around 10 Rillington Place (later renamed 10 Ruston Close) continued until the late 1970s when the whole decrepit street was torn down and rebuilt as Bartle Road.

Dr Hawley Crippen clearly was not thinking of the re-sale value of his home in Hilltop Crescent in Camden, north London, when he murdered his wife and buried her under the cellar in 1910.

Another property to miss in Camden will be 4 Hartland House, where Anthony Hardy killed three prostitutes in his one bedroom council flat.

Parts of his victims were found in a wheelie bin near the flat.

Camden council plans to gut the flat before letting it again - and offer counselling to potential tenants.
