The brother of Cromwell Street killer Rose West says he has endured threats, taunts and damage to his Birmingham home since moving to the city six months ago. 

Gordon Letts, 61, who is in no way associated with the crimes carried out by his sister and her husband Fred West, has pleaded for help in ending the torment.

'I’ve had enough, I can’t sleep on the streets. What else have I got?' Mr Letts told BirminghamLive.

'They’re shouting every night. I just can’t take it any more, I’ve just had enough.

'It’s never going to go away. It comes out through Google. People start talking and it’s all rubbish.'

His sister, now 67, was sentenced to life without parole in 1995 for her part in the torture and murder of ten young women.

Husband Fred took his own life, aged 53, at HMP Birmingham before facing justice.

Despite his loathing for the notorious couple and his revulsion over their sadistic crimes, Mr Letts continues to be hounded simply because of his blood-ties to Rose.

'I’ve had all sorts,' he said. 

He's had bricks thrown at his window, individuals have shouted abuse from the street and he has been threatened.

Mr Letts desperately wants help to find new premises.

Life in Birmingham has, he stressed, become a nightmare since his family links surfaced. 

Mr Letts, who declined to reveal why he moved to the city, has in the past been beaten up and stabbed.

When asked if there were close relatives in the area who would take him in, he said: 'What, with my family? I’m done with talking. It doesn’t do me any good.' 

Mr Letts continues to be plagued by Rose’s crime.

He said: 'I hate her. When I was young, we were quite close, but I’ve gone from loving her dearly to hating her.

'I was a kid back then. I remember I did look up to her.'

He and Fred’s relationship was so strained it descended into violence.

'Couldn’t stand him,' said Mr Letts.   

'I had a fight with him. He was strange. We’d think, he works all day, comes home and works on the house.'

That property - Britain’s most notorious postcode - was turned into a harrowing graveyard by West.   

The Wests, married in 1972, were submerged in a sewer
