Abuser's sister forced to move

The sister of a convicted paedophile is leaving her Christchurch home following vigilante attacks after a pamphlet drop revealed her brother's request to live with her.

The woman said she had handed in her notice for the New Brighton house where her brother, Colin Davies, had asked to be sent on home detention.

She said she had been under attack, including threats that her house would be torched. A rock had smashed through her window and a molotov cocktail and condoms filled with red paint were thrown on her lawn.
