A couple who were put "through hell" by a rogue builder making false promises about their dream seaside home say his trail of destruction has left them and others "heartbroken".
Michael Anderson, 76, from Porthcawl in south Wales, was jailed for three-and-a-half years after admitting to cheating his six victims out of £260,000.
Among them were Andy and Denise Fitzgerald, whose picturesque retirement on the coast was ruined after both suffered back injuries trying to rectify Anderson's sub-par work.
Another victim, Jessica Reader, lost more than £130,000 to Anderson on her eco-friendly home but said his prison sentence had brought some justice.
A judge said Anderson's actions had "shattered people's lives and their dreams".
