The daughter of a man who killed a Banbury boatman was today jailed for six months.

Tammey Crain, 22, helped cover up for her father James Crain, 53, after he punched Maurice Batts, 64, on his canalboat Tina at Grimsbury Wharf, in the town, last year.

James Crain, who lived with his daughter in Springfield Avenue, Banbury, was jailed for two-and-a-half years last month after being convicted of Mr Batts's manslaughter.

Oxford Crown Court was told Crain had believed Mr Batts was making sexual advances to his daughter.
