CCTV cameras show the wife of Birmingham MP John Hemming sneaking into the home of her husband's mistress, court has heard. Christine Hemming, 53, whose husband is the Yardley Liberal Democrat MP, denies burgling the home of Emily Cox and stealing a kitten.
MP's Wife Charged Over Cat Burglary
Christine Margaret Hemming, wife of Birmingham Yardley MP John Hemming, was not required to enter a plea during a brief appearance at the city's magistrates' court. Mrs Hemming is alleged to have burgled the home of Emily Cox, a researcher with whom the MP fathered a child in 2005. The burglary is alleged to have been committed at night on September 29.
The fate of the cat was not made clear in court, but a picture of the animal, apparently called Beauty, has been posted on Mr Hemming's blog under the heading "kitten missing". The photograph is accompanied by a message which reads: "If anyone has seen this kitten please contact me at the House of Commons. There is a reward for its return." Mr Hemming, who describes his domestic status as "an unclear situation", said: "I would just like the cat back"
MP's wife 'caught on CCTV sneaking into husband's mistress' home to steal kitten'
Birmingham Crown Court was told that Christine Hemming, Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming and his lover, Emily Cox, were involved in a "love triangle" at the time of the alleged offence last September.
The court heard that Miss Cox was out at a 'meeting' in the early evening of September 29 and returned home to find that one of her two cats, Beauty and Twinkle, was missing. CCTV footage.....showed exactly what had happened to the cat.
"The defendant, Mrs Hemming, had sneaked around the back garden, she had opened the back door, she had entered Emily's house and she remained in that house for three minutes or so. "She then left the house through the same door which she had entered but, when she left the house, under her left arm was Beauty the kitten."
Mrs Hemming had apparently stolen Beauty because she was aware that her Fib Dem husband would rather spend time with Emily Cox's pussy than with her. She was mistaken in thinking that Beauty was that pussy.
I doubt it was Twinkle either.
Mrs Hemming should be held on remand until she reveals the fate of Beauty. I do not believe rumours that regular blood sacrifices are now demanded of Fib Dem MPs and their families under the orders of their new masters, the tories.
