Three jailed over shed prisoner

Three people who kept an epileptic man prisoner in a garden shed in Gloucestershire for six weeks have been jailed at Bristol Crown Court.

Kevin Davies, 29, was found dead by paramedics at a house in Badgers Way, Bream on 26 September 2006.

Amanda Baggus, who owned the shed, and her boyfriend David Lehane have been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Scott Andrews, who helped Baggus and Lehane keep Mr Davies prisoner, was sentenced to nine years.

In her diary Baggus wrote about the punishments they inflicted on Kevin Davies and noted his cries for help.

'Systematic torture'

They also made a hostage-style video of him in which they forced him to say he was being "fed perfectly".

In fact he was being fed only scraps.
