It must have been the most bizarre trial Judge Nicola Jones has ever presided over. Last Thursday, at Caernarfon crown court in north Wales, she jailed six people for a conspiracy to kidnap a child, at knifepoint, in broad daylight, who apparently believed they were “rescuing” the boy from a satanic cult on the Isle of Anglesey. One of the kidnappers was a north London lawyer, another was a Christian charity counsellor.
The kidnappers were arrested last November after they abducted an eight-year-old boy from the care of his foster mother, who had just collected him after school. The court heard that Anke Hill, 51, grabbed the child, while Wilfred Wong, 56, a “non-practising” barrister, held a knife to the face of the foster mother
