A vile grandson threatened his own grandparents with hammers and knives to fleece their pension money, leaving them with nothing to buy food or to heat their home. Mr Partington also sold anything of value - personal items and kitchen equipment - to feed his addictions, the court heard. Mr Partington was disqualified from driving at the time because of a bad driving record. The terrible saga was dragged out for around 30 months, the elderly couple said in a victim statement, after Mr Partington refused to move out of their front room. Since Mr Partington, of Pier Street, Plymouth, was remanded in jail the couple have been able to buy food and heat their home, even getting new furniture for their home.
