A WOMAN who is being treated in a special hospital has admitted phoning Southampton police to claim that there was a bomb in her home.

Brenda Burton, 32, pleaded guilty at Winchester Crown Court to communicating false information.

Judge Keith Cutler heard Burton had been serving an indeterminate sentence for robbery before being transferred to the unit.

Burton, of no fixed abode, was further remanded to the hospital for sentence next month when the court will have a psychiatric report.
