Feuding Brit neighbors found dead

Text

BRAINTREE, England, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Two English neighbors embroiled in a beef over parking are dead -- one stabbed and the other an apparent heart attack victim, investigators say.

Other neighbors in Braintree, Essex, said the two men, Alan Taylor, 59, and Richard Wight, 55, had been involved in an ongoing argument over a parking space, The Guardian reported. A spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service said an anti-social behavior order had been issued against Wight in 2007 and that Wight had admitted two years later he had breached it with a verbal attack on Taylor.

Relatives found Taylor Sunday and paramedics discovered Wight's body in the neighboring house.

Police said the deaths were being investigated as suspicious, The Sun reported.

"They certainly didn't get on and people are saying that it got worse over Christmas," a resident of the area who did not want to be named told The Guardian. "I try to keep my nose out of other people's business so it's difficult to say what it's about but parking is a problem around here."
