Two women and a man, described as "thoroughly devious, dishonest and manipulative", have been sentenced for modern slavery offences. Four teenage girls were trafficked from Vietnam and forced to work in nail bars across England. Viet Nguyen, 29, and Thu Nguyen, 48, were jailed for four and five years respectively at Stafford Crown Court.

Giang Tran, 23, received a two-year suspended sentence.

Passing sentence, Judge Chambers said the three had exploited highly vulnerable young Vietnamese women due to "pure economic greed".
