A doctor who poisoned his partner in a series of bogus exorcism ceremonies has been jailed for 14 and a half years.

Hossam Metwally, 61, brought Kelly Wilson to the brink of death by injecting her with drugs during the sessions at their Grimsby home.

Sheffield Crown Court heard he convinced the 34-year-old she was possessed by supernatural spirits.

Metwally was found guilty of eight charges, including administering a noxious substance and a count of fraud.

He also pleaded guilty to two counts of voyeurism which involved using a hidden camera to film female patients getting changed at his private clinic.

During the eight-week trial, jurors heard Metwally, an NHS anaesthetist and chronic pain specialist, believed there were a number of entities, or jinns, "hiding" inside his partner, and that he had to remove them by reciting verses of the Koran and placing holy water and oils on her skin.
