The 61-year-old victim was found by the police living in a rotten shed, with water pouring through it, with a make-shift bed, and congealed vomit in the corner.
A modern salver whose vulnerable victim lived in a horse box and cramped six-foot wide shed for 40 years has been spared jail.
He was made to live in a horse box, a disused caravan and more recently in a shed on a residential site north of the city where he was discovered following a tip-off.In contrast Swailes Snr lived in comfort in an adjacent chalet filled with expensive belongings, while the family dog slept in a similar-sized shed which contained a fitted carpet and a gas heater.
‘He was ill equipped to deal with adult life, could not manage alone and had no clue as to the complexities of the value of money, wages, taxes or anything else. The victim lived with the Swailes family for many years after being in care as a child, with Swailes Snr telling him he was his ‘boss’, the court heard.
Judge Richard Archer told Swailes Jr: ‘You may not have known the true extent of living conditions, or his precise IQ, but it must have been obvious to you that he did not have any real appreciation for the potential consequences of some of the work that you required him to perform at an undervalue and with little or no regard for his personal safety.’
Accommodation manager Kyle France the Swailes’ treatment of the man, who they are calling Chris, ‘shows a level of hatred that I just can’t get my head around’.
