Couple jailed for cutting down hedge

A middle-aged British couple were today beginning a month-long jail sentence for cutting down a hedge in breach of a civil court injunction.

Grandparents Malcolm Girling, 57, and his wife Marlene, 54, of Witton, near Norwich, were each jailed for 28 days by a judge at Norwich County Court following a number of disputes with neighbours John and Lynda Williams, also believed to be in their 50s.
