A fraudster who pretended to be a quadriplegic and in a coma for two years to allegedly evade justice has been jailed for four and a half years.

Alan Knight, 47, from Swansea, conned his neighbour out of £40,000 but was caught by police going on shopping trips and holidays.

When confronted by police, he admitted himself to hospital claiming his health had worsened.

He was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court after admitting to theft and forgery.
