Sinister Simon Din never forgot nor forgave his ex-lover and her family for HIS vicious attack on their home.

He had plunged a machete into a settee during one incident and was sent to jail.

But Din wanted to make his ex-wife's life hell....and the moment he was released early from jail he sent a diabolic message to her mother on Facebook.

It read: "The Devil never forgets what people have done!"

Din, 44, of no fixed address, had also been banned from contacting his ex-wife Anna Savage or her mother Sally for a year.

In January last year he had been jailed for two and a half years for assault, theft, witness intimidation, possessing a knife and burglary - but was released early in November.

In December a friend of his ex-wife also received a message asking for cash - despite the fact she never owed him any money.

The woman received another message from Din which read: "He does not make threats but watch this space for what I do!"

Then Din turned his attention to Sally Savage telling her in an internet message: "This is not a game. I want my money from your daughter."

Canterbury Crown Court heard that he then sent messages to his ex-wife's younger sister telling her: "I have no beef with you but your sister has p****d me off and stole
off me (sic)...I want my money back.

"She can hide and lie and make everyone feel sorry for her."

Prosecutor Paul Green said that on December 12 one of Sally Savage's friends reported seeing Din drinking in a pub in Hythe which is used regularly by the family.

Other family members were then alerted that Din was breaching his licence conditions by coming to the area - and he was then spotted standing outside the family home.

Din, who was sent to prison in 1994 for seven years for robbery, has now been jailed for three years after admitting harassment.

His lawyer Kerry Waite told the court that Din had been living in a hostel in Maidstone after his release from a two-and-a-half year sentence in January last year.

"The Devil never forgets what people have done!" - Din's threat to his ex-wife

"He began drifting and gravitated to the area he knew best and that engendered feelings of resentment and unresolved issued which led to these offences.

"When he is sober he acknowledges he has acted wholly unacceptably and wrong. But he has now come to his senses and handed himself in to police on the advice of his father."

Judge Adele Williams told him: "Within days after your release from your sentence you started sending messages to the family and friends of your ex-wife.

"You clearly pose a high risk of causing serious harm to your ex-wife and her mother."

She also ordered him to stay away from the Savage family for five years.
