Daniel Cox was sentenced to 10 years in prison at Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday after being convicted of raping a woman he met on the dating app Tinder. 

He told the victim that he was a Mexican drug smuggler and liked to be called 'The Mexican.' 

During the trial the jury heard how the victim escaped from a bathroom after being locked in Cox's home, was hurt with a knife, and squeezed her throat so tightly she struggled to breathe. 

Cox denied three offences of rape and single offences of false imprisonment and engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, but was convicted earlier this month.

He will sign the sex offenders register, which he will be on for life, and a permanent restraining order was imposed banning him from contacting the victim.

Cousins Adolf Nrdecka and Kol Ndreca were given jail sentences totalling more than seven years after being found guilty of involvement in two cannabis factories in Lowestoft.

Police raided the Drill Hall on Arnold Street in April found 237 cannabis plants, whilst a further 107 plants were found in a four-bedroom house in Jasmine Green. 

Adolf Ndreca, 29, of St Peters Street, Lowestoft, was found to be in a "leading role" in the operation, and received a jail sentence of 56 months.

Kol Ndreca, 31, of Jasmine Green, Lowestoft, was given a 36 month sentence.

Former Ipswich woman Hannah Colley, of Fiddlers Folley, Colchester, has been given a sentence of 26 weeks in prison.

Colley had been claiming care payments in Suffolk but later submitted a social care claim from Essex County Council.

Concerns were raised during a social care review last summer that Colley had not been providing evidence as to how her social care payments were being spent. 

The review showed that she had continued receiving financial care payments from Suffolk after moving to Essex, where she was also claiming financial support. 

During the overlapping period she received £27,643.68 from Suffolk County Council, which she has been ordered by the court to pay back in full, as well as costs of £6,100.
