A MAN was delighted to catch a glimpse of his own home on TV during a news item about a killing just metres from his front door.
Tom Logan from Leeds was watching a chilling report about an axe murder on the local evening news when he experienced the sudden thrill of seeing his own house on screen.
The 42-year-old said: “It was brilliant. I shouted for everyone to get in the room quick so the whole family could see our house on the telly. Obviously the murder thing was a bit grim, but I just couldn’t get over how cool it was. It’s like the house is famous.
“Luckily the victim had staggered out of the house, so there were some really clear shots of my front garden and car. If you ignore the actual murder bit with blood everywhere it could have been an episode of Location Location Location.
“Obviously I hope the killer is brought to justice. And I feel sorry for the victim, assuming he didn’t deserve it. But the whole thing is just such a rush. I’ve been showing everyone clips.”
Fortunately for Logan, just as the excitement was beginning to wear off he was given fresh hope of seeing his house on TV again.
He added: “The police said he’s dangerous and could strike again in the same area. Clearly that would be an awful thing to happen, but fingers crossed!”
