Spelling Error Lands Car Vandal In Prison

An enraged boyfriend who caused £11,000 worth of damage to his ex-partner's car was caught because of his poor spelling skills.

Among the damage caused to the £18,000 Peugeot was the word "bitch" sprayed in paint on the outside – but it had been incorrectly spelt, leaving out the letter "T".

The following day, the woman received a text message calling her the same derogatory name, mis-spelt in exactly the same manner, explained Preston Crown Court prosecutor Tim Ashmole.

Lee Wilson is today beginning a two-and-a-half year prison sentence after admitting a variety of offences.
