Deaf and dumb man ‘b****red’

-

A CONMAN was jailed for pretending to be an artist who was deaf and dumb after he was caught out when told to “B*gger off.”

Kula Wojciech, 29, was found with more than £8,000 cash after posing as a talented painter overcoming his disability.

But a court heard he bought the paintings for just £1 each from street markets in his native Poland and sold them doorto-door to kind-hearted people for £20 a time.

He was rumbled when one householde­r told him to “b*gger off” while his back was turned but he span round after plainly hearing the insult in Ferndale, South Wales

Wojciech admitted charges of fraud and false representa­tion.

The judge at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court jailed him for six months.
