who had filled Oakham Castle to watch two cases held at the country's oldest court.
The court only sits once every two years.
Sanjay Chavda, 48, of Markfield Road, Leicester, had already admitted a charge of poisoning with intent to injure, aggrieve or annoy after pouring a mix of Mr Muscle and Nando’s Peri Peri sauce into the kettle of a security guard who caught him shoplifting at B&Q. It appears the security guard
left Mr Chavada unattended whilst detained in an office.
He was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for a year, ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work and pay a victim surcharge of £100.
Second defendant leaving court
The second case involved a 18 year old married man with a new child from Loughborough who was involved in a distraction burglary of an elderly man. The defendant was 14 at the time of the offence was committed with two other boys. The Judge gave him a community work order of 100 hours
over twelve months and ordered him to take up an education and employment programme.
The Judge then changed his role to district judge to deal with a bail breach, he decided
not to impose any sentence because the defendant had already spent a week on remand.
The Judge told him to look after his family in the way the appear to look after him.
During sentencing a local dignitary received a telephone call, bizarrely they got up
and walked across the courtroom phone ringing loud until they were outside the castle.
