• Daughter they said was adopted 'was by her soldier lover'
• High Commissioner told him to stop strutting around in uniform
• Claims of heroic helicopter mission were nonsense
• £10,000 river cruiser took him on trips to convert Muslims
Extraordinary new revelations are set to further tarnish the reputations of two British lay preachers sentenced to hard labour for sedition in The Gambia, West Africa.
David and Fiona Fulton pleaded guilty to undermining the country and its president Yahya Jammeh by sending 69 emails to British Christians accusing the Muslim population of extremism and calling The Gambia 'a hellhole'. They were each fined £6,250 in addition to their one-year sentence.
But while evangelists worldwide last week sent messages of sympathy and began raising funds to pay their fine, The Mail on Sunday can reveal the full extent of the couple's bizarre life as missionaries and how they scandalised the Christian community in The Gambia.
