A man who admitted attacking his wife, but was then spared

:00:11.:00:13.

an immediate jail term, is behind bars tonight.

:00:14.:00:16.

Mustafa Bashir was given a suspended sentence after a judge

:00:17.:00:19.

was told he'd been offered a professional cricket contract.

:00:20.:00:23.

But today that same judge locked Bashir up declaring,

:00:24.:00:26.

Here's our chief reporter, Dave Guest.

:00:27.:00:32.

Mustafa Bashir arrived at court today knowing he had

:00:33.:00:35.

Last month he'd narrowly avoided jail when he admitted

:00:36.:00:40.

attacking his former wife with a cricket bat and

:00:41.:00:43.

The judge suspended an 18-month prison sentence, partly because he'd

:00:44.:00:48.

been told Bashir was about to sign a contract with Leicestershire

:00:49.:00:51.

The club then revealed they'd never heard of Bashir.

:00:52.:00:58.

And so today the 33-year-old was ordered back before the same

:00:59.:01:03.

Bashir was represented in court by a new barrister

:01:04.:01:08.

who said his client had not intended to mislead anyone.

:01:09.:01:12.

There had been a series of misunderstandings.

:01:13.:01:15.

Judge Richard Mansell was having none of that.

:01:16.:01:17.

He said there had been no series of misunderstandings and said,

:01:18.:01:22.

"I was fundamentally misled by you as to your

:01:23.:01:25.

He said he had no hesitation in now imposing an immediate prison term,

:01:26.:01:30.

something he said he would have done originally if he had been aware

:01:31.:01:33.

In a statement, Leicestershire said...

:01:34.:01:46.

Meanwhile, Judge Mansell addressed criticisms made of him over his

:01:47.:01:48.

He'd said Bashir's victim was "not particularly vulnerable due

:01:49.:01:56.

Today he said he wanted to make clear he'd always

:01:57.:02:01.

considered her to be vulnerable, but sentencing guidelines set out

:02:02.:02:05.

clearly different levels of vulnerability which judges have

:02:06.:02:08.

to take into account when sentencing.

:02:09.:02:12.

Through police, Bashir's victim said she was satisfied

:02:13.:02:14.

She feels she has received justice and has looked at the transcripts

:02:15.:02:21.

from the original sentencing and also what has been said

:02:22.:02:31.

Bashir, meantime, may be investigated for the separate

:02:32.:02:33.

offence of perverting the course of justice.

:02:34.:02:38.

Six men from Preston have been jailed for a total of 13 and a half

:02:39.:02:42.

years after committing a ?400,000 insurance fraud.

:02:43.:02:45.

The men worked together in their professional roles

:02:46.:02:48.

The crimes were discovered when solicitor Nadir Suleman

:02:49.:02:52.

had his house raided and the police found documents linking him

:02:53.:02:55.

and the others to numerous fraudulent claims.

:02:56.:02:59.

An investigation's continuing into a razor blade attack

:03:00.:03:02.

at Liverpool's Altcourse Jail in which a prison officer

:03:03.:03:05.

He's now recovering at home after being released from hospital.

:03:06.:03:09.

The inmate responsible was housed in the prison's separation unit.

:03:10.:03:15.

A man from Manchester who offered to care for a sick neighbour has

:03:16.:03:18.

been sentenced to ten years in prison for causing his death.

:03:19.:03:21.

A court heard Paul Roddy had MS and was vulnerable.

:03:22.:03:24.

But instead of caring for him, Christopher McAllister subjected him

:03:25.:03:26.

Paul Roddy was a father-of four, a stubborn but kind man

:03:27.:03:35.

who according to his family loved drinking tea and watching Emmerdale.

:03:36.:03:41.

But he suffered from multiple sclerosis and was not coping.

:03:42.:03:44.

The two men lived in neighbouring flats on this street in Gorton.

:03:45.:03:49.

The court heard Paul Roddy was vulnerable.

:03:50.:03:51.

Local youths had been taking advantage of him

:03:52.:03:54.

So Christopher McAllister moved into his flat offering

:03:55.:03:57.

McAllister claimed Carer's Allowance.

:03:58.:04:08.

But the court heard he was not motivated by money, nor

:04:09.:04:11.

When Paul was found dead in his bed in December 2015,

:04:12.:04:15.

he had injuries all over his head and body and was

:04:16.:04:18.

He had been subjected to a serious of violent attacks.

:04:19.:04:21.

The frailty of Paul, based on the injuries

:04:22.:04:24.

That period prior to his death must have been very,

:04:25.:04:34.

Jailing Christopher McAllister for ten years, His Honour Mr

:04:35.:04:39.

Justice Mark Turner said, "When you let Paul Roddy live

:04:40.:04:47.

"with you, it was out of the frying pan and into the fire.

:04:48.:04:50.

"He was vulnerable dependent on your care, but your behaviour

:04:51.:04:53.

Police and other agencies are now awaiting results

:04:54.:05:00.

Paul's sister is campaigning for a change in the law to ensure

:05:01.:05:05.

anyone claiming Carer's Allowance is subject to official checks.

:05:06.:05:10.

Everyone was stunned that people could do this sort of thing

:05:11.:05:13.

without having any checks, or monitoring that they were

:05:14.:05:16.

a suitable person to look after vulnerable people.

:05:17.:05:18.

Last night Paul's family lit candles in his memory.

:05:19.:05:22.

They hope his legacy will be to ensure that this never happens

:05:23.:05:25.

Cricket, and a late wicket each from James Anderson and Kyle Jarvis

:05:26.:05:34.

Temperatures not far away from freezing. It will warm up very
