A mum has been jailed after getting her neighbour locked up for 17 hours with a false accusation that he had damaged her home during an armed confrontation.
Kelly Cordingly dialled 999 and told the police the man had broken a window handle and threatened her while carrying a knife when he turned up banging on her door last September.
As a result, the accused neighbour spent 17 hours in police custody before her story was exposed as a lie.
