A COURT has jailed two Redditch men and a Birmingham man for a total of 15 and a half years after they pleaded guilty to conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Kristoffer Bell and Dean Lewis, both 21 and from Redditch, were jailed for eight and a half and three years respectively at Hereford Crown Court on Friday.

Paul Baillie, 33, of Birmingham, was given four years.

The case follows an attack in a Woodrow pub which left a Redditch man with brain damage in the summer last year.

Bell was charged with this attack and while in prison orchestrated, with Lewis and Baillie, the intimidation of witnesses to the assault.

Another Redditch man was wounded as a result.

A fourth defendant, a Birmingham woman, was found not guilty.
