A mum and stepdad who locked their autistic son in an attic where he was found "close to death" have been jailed today
Lorna Hewitt, 43, and her husband Craig, 42, were each sentenced to six years behind bars after they were found guilty of falsely imprisoning Matthew Langley, 22, at their home in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
Matthew was severely dehydrated and weighed just six stone - or 36 kilos - when he was found inside the vomit and faeces-covered room.
