Bully mum poured bleach over vulnerable ‘modern-day slave’ and beat her with a frying pan

A “MONSTER” mum kept a vulnerable woman as a modern-day slave while living a champagne lifestyle, a court heard.
Bully Mandy Leacock, 36, poured bleach on her victim, made her sleep on the floor and threw her outside naked in the cold.
She also beat her around the head with a frying pan, gave her so little food she scavenged from a bin and confiscated her credit cards, Southwark Crown Court was told.
During the 36-year-old woman’s 14-month ordeal, Leacock pos­ted photos of herself enjoying a £400-a-night stay at London’s five-star Langham Hotel.
One showed a sumptuous meal on a room service trolley with bubbly on ice and a glass with a cherry in it.
At earlier hearings, courts heard the victim, who had learning difficulties, came to London to answer a dating advert by a man Leacock knew.
When that relationship soured she moved into Leacock’s flat where she was kept a virtual prisoner until a child saw her sifting through a bin and eating a bread stick she found.
Prosecutor Ed­ward Aydin called Leacock a “shameless monster”.
The mum of two, of Maida Vale, West London, admitted assault and will be sentenced later.
