A wife who ditched her hubby and moved to the UK got a big shock! Joyce Charlie wanted to grab their house after her husband Martin died, but the court said no way!
She ran off to the UK back in 1999, leaving Martin behind. He didn't stay lonely though - he found a new love and had four kids with different women! Talk about moving on!
Joyce tried to claim she was still the real wife since they got hitched way back in 1978. She wanted their house in Ardbernie all to herself. But here's the twist - she never came back home. Not once in 16 years! She skipped town and didn't even show up when Martin got sick or when he died.
The court folks weren't buying her story. They said she couldn't just pop up after being gone for ages and demand the house. Martin had already started a new life with another woman named Elinah, who lived with him from 2008 until he passed away in 2015.
The spiciest part? Joyce sent her family to grab her stuff from the house before Martin died! The judge, Gladys Mhuri, wasn't impressed. She said Joyce needed to prove she lived in the house right before Martin died - but she couldn't!
Joyce tried saying she sent money to fix up the house, but she couldn't prove that either. The judge looked at all this drama and said nope - you can't abandon your home for 16 years and then come back wanting everything!
The court threw out her case faster than yesterday's news. Looks like Joyce's plan to get the house all to herself totally flopped!
