Love rat Richard Keys’ sister cleared of trolling his ex-wife Julia on Twitter — because she lives abroad

Susan Keys wrote that Julia was 'a liar', 'delusional' and 'embarrassing,' during a Twitter rant in April

THE sister of football presenter Richard Keys has been cleared of Twitter trolling his ex-wife – because she lives abroad.

Julia Keys – who split from the ex-Sky Sports pundit, 61 after his affair with 29-year-old Lucie Rose - reported sister-in-law Susan Keys to police four months ago.

Cops launched a harassment investigation after Susan posted a string of online rants.

But Julia, 58, told The Sun on Sunday the probe has been shelved because Susan lives in Majorca and it was unknown where she was when she tweeted.

She said: “The police said they cannot investigate the matter further because as Susan lives in Majorca, they do not know where the tweets were sent from.

“If they were sent from Majorca, then it is a matter for the police over there to deal with it.

“If the tweets continue with this level of harassment and attack the police said they would be prepared to make further inquiries.

“I understand that location comes into the situation but she has been warned to stop this.”

Julia – wed to Keys for 36 years – had just appeared on TV to promote her new book when Susan ranted at her on Twitter.

In one she said: “Some people may say I hate my ex sister in law Julia Keys.

“Not true I pity her she’s delusional.

“Embarrassing her kids 90% of what she says is a lie affairs happen she should know #getoverit.”

Ex-TV presenter Keys had heart surgery last June.

In another Susan said: “So many lies by Julia Keys in her latest attempt to publicise her ridiculous book.

“I hardly know where to start to put the record straight I took Richard into hospital while she heartlessly swanned around at Royal Ascot I stayed with him throughout.”

Speaking from her home in Ascot, Berks, Julia told The Sun: “It saddens me greatly that while married to Richard all I have ever done with regards to Susan is help her.

“And look after her when she has been troubled by some of life’s challenges.”

Thames Valley Police said the three month investigation is now closed.

A police spokesman said: “It was deemed that the case was not in the public interest to pursue.”

Lucie had a fling with Keys - who quit from the channel in 2011 over a sexism row – two years ago.

She was a pal of his ex-Hollyoaks actress daughter Jemma.
