Culture home A mother who kept a woman prisoner as a house slave for 25 years was repeatedly reported to social services, her neighbours have claimed. Amanda Wixon, 56, forced the victim, who is now in her 40s and cannot be named, to live off scraps and squirted dishwashing liquid down her throat. At Gloucester Crown Court on Wednesday, Wixon, who has 10 children, was found guilty of false imprisonment, requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The victim, who has learning disabilities, was 16 when she moved into Wixon’s home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, in the mid-1990s. Neighbours claim they reported their concerns in the early 2000s, and again in 2018.
