Carlisle pair deny slavery charges after man found living in shed

A father and son have denied exploiting a man who is believed to have lived in a shed for up to 40 years.

Peter Swailes, 80, and his 55-year-old son, also called Peter Swailes, appeared at the city's crown court via video link and pleaded not guilty to charges of modern slavery.Prosecutors claim the men "conspired together and with others" to arrange or facilitate the travel of a worker with a view to exploitation.

Mr Swailes Senior, of Hadrian Park, Brampton Old Road, Carlisle, and his son, of Low Harker, also Carlisle, were granted unconditional bail ahead of the trail.

Story is incomplete and weird. Was he chained? Where was he working and for who? Did he have a family at weekends?(if that is the case) Did they feed him? Did he just use the shed overnight? Could be more than slavery if the man has a mental condition.

The colour of that shed is awful!

We keep nicking their slaves, so they nick our dogs.

It’d be AT LEAST £2k pcm in foxtons window that

24hoursinpolicecustody last night...5 years in a shed scared for his life... poor bloke.

So, why was someone living in their shed?
