A builder who cleaned an elderly man’s gutters for free has been left a fortune in the man’s will.
Ronald
Butcher, who was described as a ‘private and quiet man’, left
builder Daniel Sharp £500,000 in his will, claiming a friendship was
struck up between the two when Mr Sharp refused payment from the
75-year-old to clean his gutters.
However
now the family of Mr Butcher, whose dead body lay undiscovered and decaying in
his Enfield home for two months after his death, are disputing the will.
They
claim Mr Sharp is ‘lying’ about his friendship with the pensioner, who altered
his will to include Mr Sharp a few months before his death in 2013, and have
asked Judge Leslie Anderson QC to revoke the will in favour of
an earlier one which leaves his substantial fortune to them.
