A woman has been found guilty of keeping another woman with learning difficulties captive for 25 years and using her as a slave.

Mother-of-10 Mandy Wixon, 56, made the vulnerable woman clean her squalid and overcrowded home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and forced her to live off scraps.

Washing-up liquid would be squirted down the victim's throat, bleach splashed on her face, and she had her head repeatedly shaved against her will.

At Gloucester Crown Court, Judge Ian Lawrie said there was a "Dickensian quality" to the case as Wixon was found guilty of false imprisonment, requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

''Police said the woman's benefits had also been paid into Wixon's bank account from the late 1990s, with her receiving a "considerable sum" of money over the years.

Officers were tipped off about the woman's situation by one of Wixon's sons, and went to the house in March 2021.

They described the woman's bedroom as looking like a "prison cell", with the other bedrooms also untidy and dirty.

She told police: "I don't want to be here. I don't feel safe. Mandy hits me all the time. I don't like it.

"I haven't washed for years. She doesn't let me."

''The victim now lives with a foster family, attends college and has been on holidays abroad.

But her ordeal has left her with nightmares, and a compulsion to clean constantly.

Wixon was released on conditional bail and will be sentenced on 12 March.''

She was regularly beaten by Amanda Wixon, 56, had washing-up liquid squirted down her throat, bleach splashed on her face and her head was repeatedly shaved against her will.

Neighbours occasionally saw her in the garden. One neighbour described the woman as “looking like something out of a concentration camp”. Another claimed she was just “skin and bone” and described seeing her being hit with a broom.

One neighbour described Wixon in a social media post as a “slavekeeper”. Police went to the house in March 2021 in response to a tip-off. Officers described the woman’s bedroom as looking like a “prison cell”, with other bedrooms untidy and dirty.

Footage from police body worn cameras showed the woman appearing thin, timid, unwashed and fearful, with a bruise she attributed to Wixon. She had scarring to her lips and face and large calluses on her feet and ankles from being constantly on her hands and knees cleaning floors.

The woman told police: “I don’t want to be here. I don’t feel safe. Mandy hits me all the time. I don’t like it. I haven’t washed for years. She doesn’t let me.”
