Four jailed over dog-fighting ring
Sep 25 2009
Four people have been jailed for their part in one of Europe's largest dog-fighting syndicates.
Claire Parker, 44, who was convicted earlier this month of holding dog-fights at her home in Lincolnshire, was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison.
Three co-defendants were jailed at Lincoln Magistrates' Court for between 23 and the maximum 26 weeks for the animal cruelty offences.
The jury was told the ring was smashed following an investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme.
