A LANDLORD has lost an appeal against his jailing for illegally evicting a family from a house in Hollow Way, Cowley.
Bayton Fundira, of Hollow Way, was jailed for three months after removing the possessions of a young couple and their four-month-old baby before changing the home’s locks.
His appeal against the sentence handed down by Oxford magistrates was dismissed on Friday.
The 34-year-old was also ordered to pay £2,000 in costs and £2,500 in compensation to the family.
