A fraudster who forged her qualifications and practised as a doctor across the UK for more than twenty years has been jailed in Greater Manchester this month.
A man ‘off his head’ on booze and cocaine who broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home armed with a knife and struggled against police officers trying to detain him was also locked up. Three people have also been jailed after dad Thomas Campbell was 'tortured to death' in his own home.
Jail terms are handed out to the worst offenders each week at the region's courts. Manchester Evening News reporters are on the press bench to cover the most serious cases.

Here are some of the criminals locked up in Greater Manchester this week...
A fake psychiatrist has been jailed after forging a fake degree certificate and submitting it to the General Medical Council who have since admitted that ‘rigorous checks’ were not carried out. Zholia Alemi, who is believed to be in her 60s, forged the document, along with a letter of verification and handed it to the GMC.
Alemi, who is already convicted of fraud, ‘held herself out and practised as a doctor of medicine’, though she had never passed or achieved the relevant university qualification and was not a properly qualified doctor. Prosecutors described her as ‘the most accomplished fraudster’.
The defendant practised continuously in the UK in 'a very large number of posts' both in the NHS and private healthcare providers for more than 20 years, the court heard. Alemi's lie began to unravel in 2016 when a carer reported concerns about her attempts to defraud an elderly patient and she was convicted of three fraud offences at Carlisle Crown
