Prosecution costs and a surcharge to fund victim services took the 45-year-old's total bill to £5,666.82 when he appeared at Northampton Magistrates Court on Monday (November 1).

Fominyam, of Wellingborough Road, Northampton, was told he would be allowed to pay back the huge sum at £50 a month — meaning his debt is due to be cleared sometime in early 2031.

He was also ordered to carry out 60 hours unpaid work as part of a 12-month community supervision order.
