MP's wife who snatched cat from lover's home given community service and told to pay �1,000 costs
An MP's wife has been given a nine-month suspended jail sentence for snatching a kitten from the home of her husband's mistress.
Christine Hemming, 53, from Moseley, Birmingham, was convicted of burglary by a jury at the city's crown court last month.
She was captured on CCTV stealing a four-month-old tabby from the home of Emily Cox, the long-term lover of the Liberal Democrat John Hemming.
Hemming was told her sentence would be suspended for 12 months.
She was also ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid community work, and pay costs of �1,000.
She made no comment as she left the court after the hearing.
