Woman jailed for drilling holes in husband's luxury yacht

A woman was jailed for 18 months today for sinking her husband's yacht on Valentine's Day.

Mandy Fleming had gone to the Double Dragon in Brighton Marina for "menage-a-trois" with her then lover David Brown and his wife Nemone, the Old Bailey.

But she "lost it" after seeing her estranged husband Adam had spent money on a new television and other items for the boat whilst saying he didn't have any money.

She drilled three holes in the hull and turned on cooker gas taps which turned the £75,000 vessel into "an explosive bomb".

Fleming of Sheerness, Kent, pleaded guilty to endangering life by causing criminal damage in 2004, when she appeared in court last month.
Old Bailey Judge Richard Hone told her: "You were a manipulative, angry and troubled individual."
