Family from hell get own housing estate - still unhappy

A family from hell in Holland have been given their own housing estate so they can't bother neighbours.

The local council in Maastricht is spending £1.5 million to put the Krijnen family in houses of their own.

The family will live in four homes on an isolated estate of ten houses on the edge of the city. The other houses will be left empty.

The Krijnen family consist of five households, notorious for stealing, violence and causing nuisance to neighbours.

Thier current homes are being knocked down.

But the family are upset because their new houses are next to a prison.

Head of the family, Peer Krijnen, 56, who himself has spent 18 years in jail, said, "You can't force criminals to live near a prison in the few times they are free.

"We want a decent house in a nice neighbourhood," he told De Limburger. "And we are going to get it, even if we have to go to the European court in Straatsburg."

Jan Meissen, spokesman for the council says the family cannot be housed in a normal neighbourhood.

"They steal the tiles from the roofs of other houses; instead of growing tomatoes they grow hashish in the garden, they just do whatever they like, when they like and nobody can stop them. They just have to move."
