TWO ruthless lovers who attempted to extort cash from an amateur glamour photographer by threatening to expose his lifestyle have been jailed.
Garry Faulds, 21, and his fiancee Laura Colquhoun, 17, both of Paisley, hatched a plot to force the 53-year-old man to hand over large amounts of cash.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard how the man, who took a series of photographs of Colquhoun, was bound with tape and beaten by Faulds.
Faulds was jailed for six years and Colquhoun given three years' detention.
