Former soldier jailed for bogus compensation claim
A former soldier has been jailed for making a bogus injury compensation claim. He'll also have to pay more than £60,000 in legal costs.

This morning Wells was jailed for four weeks after investigators found the case was based on false evidence and fabricated witnesses.
