Woman bangs on wall of elderly man's flat for five years

For the past five years, an 82-year-old widower in Geylang has had to bear with loud banging on his wall by his next-door neighbour.

And the banging has got so bad in recent months that other neighbours started complaining about the noise, with one claiming that the culprit - a woman - hits the wall so hard that it "vibrates".

Her "wall rage" seems to have been sparked by her objection to the widower, Mr Lam Kok Chiang, hanging his clothes in the common corridor.

The banging became such a nightmare that Mr Lam said he has spent a few thousand dollars to install a CCTV camera outside his flat, see a psychiatrist and engage a lawyer.

First pic of woman in blazing flat jump

'Traumatised' ... Monika Konczyk

THIS is the first picture of the brave woman who jumped out of her burning flat as an inferno raged in a furniture store just metres away.

Monika Konczyk, 32, was said to be "traumatised" last night after narrowly escaping with her life when she jumped 14ft from a first-floor window into the outstretched arms of riot cops.

Monika had stayed at home after her sister Beata Mecaj told her not to go out as looters roamed London on Monday night.

But after Monika got ready for bed, yobs torched the nearby House of Reeves furniture store — leaving her trapped when the flames spread to her block of flats.
