Pritpal Binning, a former university lecturer and her husband Palvinder have been arrested near Southampton in Chilworth after keeping a Polish builder as a slave in their garden shed for four years.

Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority raided the couple's property after the Polish man went to the NHS walk-in centre asking for help. Later, the investigation unfolded where he said he was given a plastic sun lounger to sleep on and stale food as exchange for his domestic services.

Tony Byrne, the senior investigating officer said, “First and foremost we are pleased that the man is now receiving the help he so desperately needs.”

A spokesperson for the GLAA said the pair have been released on bail and have not yet been charged but investigation in the case continues.
