THE landlord cleared of murdering his neighbour Jo Yeates is selling his flat to make a fresh start. Chris Jefferies, 66, failed to get the £245,000 asking price but is relieved it is under offer.
The ex-public school teacher, formally cleared of any link to Jo’s killing, has not been to his home in Clifton, Bristol, since his arrest in December.
He is believed to have been staying with friends. Close pal Geoffrey Hardyman said: “He needs time to recover from his traumatic experience and make a fresh start.” Mr Jefferies may sue police for wrongful arrest.
Mr Jefferies still owns the basement flat formerly rented by landscape architect Jo, 25, and boyfriend Greg Reardon. Her frozen, strangled body was found in a country lane on Christmas Day.
Neighbour Dutch engineer Vincent Tabak, 32, has been charged with her murder.
