Former Lawyer Jailed For Fraud

A former Jersey lawyer has been jailed for three and half years for fraud.

Kevin Robert Manning, who's 62, was convicted of multiple charges relating to using more than £100,000 of client money to keep his failing business running.

He funnelled the cash over a nine year period, when -  the Royal court heard - his personal life was in crisis and he was suffering drink and mental health problems.

Manning was suspended from practicing as a solicitor in 2014.
