An 81-year-old parkrun legend is locked in a bitter £325,000 inheritance war with his stepchildren, who want to throw him out of his late wife's home.

When super-fit pensioner Michael Morfey's second wife Karen Morfey died in 2021, she left him nothing in her will despite the couple having been together for 18 years.

Retired teacher Karen, who had dementia, gave her £600,000 house in Streatham, south London, to her two children, Alexander and Emma Davies, in equal shares, granting her husband only the right to stay for a year after her death.
