David Draycott,52, and David Ward, 53, both of Bosworth Way, Anstey, Leicester, were involved in a two-year scam that ended in 2012.

The other two men were later found guilty and yesterday Draycott was jailed for four years and Ward for 18 months.

Plastic bottles used to create water purifierpublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 25 June 2019

BBC NewsAn engineer at Nottingham Trent University has created a water purifying device using just three empty plastic bottles.
It works by using sunlight to warm contaminated water. As the water warms the clean evaporation is captured in a chamber and stored safely, ready to be consumed.
Image source, Nottingham Trent UniversityProfessor Amin Al-Habaibeh said: “This simple technology which utilises ordinary discarded plastic bottles will allow people in developing countries to farm their own clean water."
One half of a plastic bottle is placed inside a larger converted bottle, providing a reservoir of dirty water. This evaporates into the top of the chamber and then condenses into clean water, passing down the sides and dripping into a third bottle beneath, as pictured.
