We gals’ know that getting a man’s attention is a mammoth task at the best of times. One Loughgall lady however, proved to be an expert at snaring her husband’s interest – by faking her own kidnapping.
Newry Crown Court heard how Patricia Thompson, 44, conceived a ‘tiger kidnap’ plot to win back her husband’s attention believing that he was having an affair.
The court heard how her false claims began in July 2005, when Thompson alerted police to a phony raid by a gang of four men who robbed cash from her home in Blackisland Road, Loughgall.
For a further nine months, Thompson made numerous false reports to police detailing threats on her life. These included bogus reports of graffiti attacks, sabotaged brake pipes and threatening text messages.
