The judge described Bay Sloane as a "Jekyll and Hyde" character as she was jailed for four and a half years. Between 1999 and 2016, he was paid £300,000 from the government's independent living fund, which is meant to help disabled people manage their condition. The couple kept a room in the two-bed property for Bay to use when he was visited by council employees carrying out checks.
Matudi was handed two suspended sentences totalling 24 months and ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work.
