One of the gang who terrorised a mother and her disabled daughter claimed yesterday his family was being harassed after receiving death threats.
Ross Simmons said he took an anonymous telephone call after he and his 16-year-old brother Alex were named as two of the culprits partly responsible for bullying Fiona Pilkington and her daughter Francecca Hardwick.
A jury found yesterday that Ms Pilkington committed suicide and unlawfully killed her 18-year-old daughter when she set fire to their car.
The brothers' identities were revealed, along with those of their parents Susanne, 44, and her 43-year-old husband Steven, after jurors said police, by failing to help Ms Pilkington, had a hand in the deaths.
At his home in the Leicestershire village of Barwell today, Mr Simmons, 20, said: "People are threatening to kill my uncle and me. We don't know who they are, they just rung up and threatened us.
"This is terrible. This is harassment."
He said neighbours' claims his brother Alex was a "street rat" were disgusting, adding that both he, Alex and their two younger siblings, boys aged 15 and 12, were innocent.
During the six-day inquest at Loughborough Town Hall, it came to light the Simmons family were still causing problems on Bardon Road, near to the semi-detached home of Ms Pilkington.
The court heard Ms Pilkington, who had borderline learning difficulties, daughter Francecca known as Frankie, and son Anthony, a severe dyslexic, were tormented for 11 years by the 16-strong gang - some as young as 10.
Their home was pelted with eggs, flour and stones, while fireworks and dog excrement were posted through their letterbox.
Anthony, now 19, was locked in a shed at knifepoint and beaten with an iron bar.
Both he and his sister were mocked because of their disabilities.
Even on the day Frankie died two girls mimicked the way she walked as she left her home.
But despite receiving 33 calls in 10 years regarding Ms Pilkington, officers from Leicestershire Constabulary only visited her eight times and no one was ever prosecuted.
Instead the single mother, a full-time carer to her children, was told to draw the curtains and ignore her abusers. On another occasion an officer reported she was "over-reacting".
On October 23, 2007, and out of sheer desperation, Ms Pilkington drove her daughter, who had the mental age of a four-year-old, to a secluded lay-by on the A47 near to the family's home.
She then doused the back seat of her blue Austin Maestro and as Frankie sat next to her, with her pet rabbit on her lap to keep her calm, Ms Pilkington set light to the car.
