A woman who falsely claimed almost £7,000 in benefits has been given a suspended jail sentence.
56 year old Michelle Jallow of Springfield Road in Douglas admitted three offences when she appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes.
The court heard she'd received a £44,000 inheritance which she failed to declare to the department of Health and Social Care and used it to buy a house in the Gambia for her children.
She was a given 16-week prison term, suspended for two years, and ordered to repay £6,840.
