Fred was driving his ice cream truck when he struck and killed a four-year-old boy. Police concluded the death was accidental and Fred wasn't charged, but indignant locals accused Fred of careless driving. This hostility was exacerbated by rumours that Fred was a pedophile. When the 12-year-old sister of a local gang member accused Fred of sexual assault, words spread that anyone who did Fred in would be rewarded. At one stage, young men wielding knives, razors, bricks and hatchets chased Fred's ice cream truck through the streets. Realising the danger he faced in Glasgow, Fred returned to England and resettled in March Markle. Reno eventually joined him and they moved their small family into a caravan in the village of Santhurst. Fred found work driving a lorry for an abattoir. His marriage remained rocky, prompting Rina to retreat to Scotland whenever she needed space. In Scotland, Rina West was friends with a young woman named Aiza McNeil. Aiza had previously worked for the West's as a full-time live-in nanny. Rina asked Aiza to move to England and stay with the family once again. Aiza agreed. She brought along her best friend, a teenager named Anna McFall. Anna had been going through some personal crises and welcomed a new start in England. She and Aiza shared a couch in the West's caravan. Unable to find work, the two women spent a lot of time with the West's and witnessed Fred's abusive behaviour firsthand. His moods were unpredictable. When happy, Fred got a kick out of being vulgar. At his worst, he'd attack Rina. Aiza tried to protect her friend, but Fred threatened to kill Aiza if she didn't get out of his way. Before he left for work each morning, Fred warned Rina not to go anywhere during the day. Aiza believed Fred was paranoid that his wife was going to leave him. One day, Rina reached out to her former boyfriend to John McLaughlin. He drove overnight from Scotland to help Rina and the others escape. He arrived at the St.hurst Caravan Park at Dawn after Fred had already left for work. As the women were packing their things, Fred reappeared. When he saw John, he began screaming furiously. Rina was adamant about leaving. She headed into the caravan to get her coat. Fred followed and slapped her several times. Rina went back outside. As she went to rescue her two children, Fred grabbed Charmaine. Rina struggled to pry her young daughter from Fred's grasp. John punched Fred in the stomach, but still he refused to let Charmaine go. He yelled at Rina, I'll kill you if you ever show your face again. Neighbors called the police. John quickly returned to his car with Rina and Aiza McNeil inside. As they drove off, Rina sobbed about having to leave her daughters behind with Fred. While all this was happening, Anamik Fall stood to one side, calmly watching the chaos unfold. Rina had urged her to come with them, but Anna said she wanted to stay and be Fred's nanny. This came as little surprise to Rina and Aiza. While they were plotting to get away from Fred, they noticed Anna had been growing friendly with him. They suspected that she had alerted Fred to their
