Bigamist illegal immigrant married by the Archbishop of York jailed for fiddling £150,000 in benefits

From The Daily Mail-


A bigamist married by the Archbishop of York was jailed yesterday over a £150,000 welfare scam.

Ugandan Rebecca Muwonge married three times under different identities to remain illegally in the UK and claim benefits.


In 1996 John Sentamu, who became archbishop nine years later, married Muwonge to Samuel Bisaso at Holy Trinity, in Tulse Hill, south London.

Bisaso was later ordained by the archbishop, who is Ugandan, in that country’s Anglican church.


He is now a chaplain for the Mission to Seafarers church charity in Immingham, near Grimsby.
Both Muwonge and Bisaso were jailed for 18 months in 2011 for immigration offences involving sham marriages.


Muwonge was pregnant and gave birth to the  youngest of her five children behind bars.
But she was hauled back before the courts following an inquiry by Newham and Enfield councils into benefit fraud.
