Man broke ex-girlfriend's leg in insurance scam

A man has been charged with deliberately breaking his ex-girlfriend's leg in an alleged insurance fraud.

Gordon Thomson, 31, is said to have rested 23-year-old Elizabeth Hingston's leg on two bricks and jumped on it.

Prosecutors at Plymouth magistrates claimed he was trying to sue the city council by claiming a wall fell on her.

He was arrested after police found a mobile phone at his Plymouth flat on which he is alleged to have filmed the break.

He will appear in court next week charged with grievous bodily harm.
