An alleged fraudster who ran an online flight booking business left a bride-to-be on the way to her wedding stranded at an airport, a court heard.

Khalid Chudhry said he would provide victim Esther Adekanmbi with flights to Lagos in Nigeria, a jury was told.

But after paying an initial deposit, Preston Crown Court heard Chudhry called the victim the following day and told her the £700 price quoted had risen by £910.
