A glamorous lawyer and her mother were convicted of harassing their neighbours with derogatory abuse and banging paint tins, a court heard. Linda Lu, a solicitor, and Susan Chen, a former Chinese intelligence officer, targeted James Smith and his wife Lynn after a dispute over a hedge.
A glamorous lawyer and her 'millionaire' mother screamed 'derogatory abuse' and banged paint tins in a campaign of harassment designed to make their neighbours' lives a misery, a court heard.
Lu, a 35-year-old solicitor who has previously been the subject of misconduct proceedings, and Chen, 61, were remanded into custody. Jurors heard that the first interaction between the Smiths and the defendants involved a dispute over the hedge on July 18. The victim said the harassment then escalated from 'noises to verbal abuse and then audio playing 24 hours a day'.
The defendants told police they were the ones being harassed. Chen accepted she had used the word 'retards' when 'she was referring to people she was suing but couldn't remember who'. She also claimed some of the shouting picked up on recordings could be explained by her arguing with her daughter. Jurors were told Chen met Lu's father during her time in the Chinese Army, and he rose to the rank of General before retiring.
A panel was told Lu raised a grievance with Human Resources about 13 people at the latter firm, and posted about one of them on Instagram in June 2018, at a time when she was said to have had around 330,000 followers.
