World No. 37 snooker player Matthew Selt is involved in a legal dispute with his mother, Susan Hickenbotham, and his sisters concerning ownership of a family home in Essex. Multiple outlets report that Hickenbotham alleges she was coerced into signing away her ownership of the property, which is described as being worth about £500,000, during a bitter family feud that leads to court action. The reporting also says that, following the legal proceedings, a referral is made to authorities relating to alleged benefit fraud involving payments described as around £200,000. The Mirror and Independent state the referral is revealed after the dispute and identify Hickenbotham’s claims as including that Selt and his sisters “coerced” her into transferring ownership. The Daily Mail similarly describes the case as a court battle over the property and characterises the referral as connected to alleged benefit fraud. The reports focus on allegations made within the dispute and the subsequent referral, without indicating a court outcome or the final determination by authorities.
