A woman who fraudulently claimed more than £20,000 in disability benefits by exaggerating the effects of multiple sclerosis (MS) was exposed through her own Facebook posts about running.
Sara Morris, 50, from Stone, Staffordshire, was diagnosed with MS in 2005. In a 2020 claim for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), she stated that her condition had left her unable to stand at the cooker, affected her balance, and made it difficult to get out of the bath without help. She also reported experiencing severe anxiety when leaving the house, including trips to the pharmacy.
A 19-year-old driver who struck a pedestrian after inhaling nitrous oxide behind the wheel has been jailed.
Louisa Tunstall was filmed using the substance—commonly known as laughing gas—via a balloon while driving her Fiat 500 in Wigan in May last year. Moments later, she lost control and veered onto the pavement, hitting a 51-year-old woman and leaving her with serious leg injuries.
Nerys Bethan Lloyd, 39, the owner of a paddleboarding company, has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after admitting to four counts of gross negligence manslaughter. The charges stem from the deaths of Paul O'Dwyer, 42, Andrea Powell, 41, Morgan Rogers, 24, and Nicola Wheatley, 40, who drowned during a paddleboarding excursion on the River Cleddau in Haverfordwest, south-west Wales.
