Conman pretended to be in coma for two years
A man who pretended to be so ill that he would often fall into a coma has been caught out after he was filmed walking in and out of Tesco and going on family holidays.
Alan Knight, 47, of Swansea, South Wales, pretended to be a paraplegic whose condition was so bad he would frequently experience seizures and go into a coma-like state in order to avoid fraud charges and facing trial.
His wife, Helen, also claimed that she had had to care for Knight, who she said had snapped his neck after falling backwards as he pulled down the garage door, according to the Daily Mail.
