The Sun reports Florence Elliott, wife of John Elliott, a man deemed insane, was jailed on a bigamy charge after an alleged fraudulently obtained divorce. She had remarried Charles N McMahon, keeper of Elliott, amid claims of conspiracy with Elliott's guardian ALG Hook.

Allegations claim Elliott was drugged during transfer of custody in July.
