BOYFRIEND: I'LL NEVER RETURN TO BRISTOL
Jo Yeates’s boyfriend has vowed never to return to Bristol, friends say.Architect Greg Reardon, 27, cannot face the ‘pain’ of being in the city because of the memories he had with her there.
He has also indicated that he is hoping for a transfer to another location within his company.
Mr Reardon is staying with his parents in Ilfracombe, North Devon, after spells with friends and with Miss Yeates’s parents in Ampfield, Hampshire.
He moved to Bristol with Miss Yeates when their firm Hyland Edgar Driver relocated from Winchester, Hampshire. They were said to be ‘over the moon’ when they moved into the basement flat in Canynge Road, Clifton, in October.
A friend said: ‘Greg is really hurting and full of pain. They both loved the city and picked a flat that they thought was in the best part.
‘They loved the pubs and the restaurants, and had a lot of friends here. I’m told that he’ll ask work for a transfer, ask for his flat to be cleared by friends or family and won’t return. I don’t blame him as there will be constant reminders of Jo everywhere he goes here.’
