A neighbour from hell who tormented a couple by playing headbanging rock music at 2am has been spared prison.
Marc Morgan, 57, blasted songs by heavy metal bands AC/DC and Black Sabbath into the small hours amid an ongoing feud with the duo next door, Newport Crown Court heard.
The former soldier 'plagued' the young couple with screeching guitar riffs and thumping drums, over a nightmare three-month period from November 11, 2024 to February 15 this year, in Risca, South Wales.
But he has escaped jail time after being sentenced to 24 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months.
Sophie Keegan, prosecuting, told how the neighbours had initially enjoyed a good relationship before things turned sour.
