A CONWOMAN tricked her boyfriend into thinking she had been
kidnapped by sending him photos of her gagged in an attempt to blackmail him
out of £25,000.
Nadine Smith told Chris Laytham she was taken hostage by
kidnappers in Jamaica, who were threatening to kill her unless they received
the money.
After receiving the photos, which showed the 38-year-old
gagged, bound and wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words "Gold
Digger", Laytham called police - who found her sitting in her apartment in
Battersea, London.
Smith borrowed £3,000 from Laytham to fly to Jamaica and
visit her ill mum in December last year, supposedly flying from London Gatwick
on December 15.
Just one day after she had supposedly landed she sent her
duped boyfriend a string of messages to fool him into thinking she had been
kidnapped.
Laytham received a string of messages from alleged
attackers, referring to Smith by her pet name "Chucky" and saying
"we are going to kill her".
Smith called him shortly after sobbing and saying:
"They have got me, they want money."
She then sent him two photos, one appearing to show her
gagged and the other with her hands apparently tied.
Laytham then received a message from the
"kidnappers" saying they would kill her if he didn't send them
£25,000.
Speaking about the con, Adams said: "He could
understand two other people had been with her and they had been killed because
no one had provided the money they had asked for.
