Chef jailed for telling police wife had bomb at airport

A CHEF who made a hoax phone call claiming his estranged wife was about to board a transatlantic flight with a bomb has been jailed for 12 months.

Kevin Flynn, 31, told police that the device was being taken on a New York-bound aircraft by Kerensa Flynn at either Heathrow or Gatwick airport.

He made the anonymous call from a phone box in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, on July 31 after the couple had decided to end their relationship and she was to fly home to the United States.
