A man who bigamously married three women has been jailed for three years.

Delroy Bryan, 46, of Reigate Road in Bromley was arrested by the UK Border Agency officers in May 2010, after information was received suggesting he was involved in bigamous marriages to aid immigration applications.

Bryan married Jamaican national Inez Downs at Islington Registry office in November 2000. She went on to claim British nationality.

However, he failed to inform the registrar that he was already married at the time. Two years later he married wife number three, another Jamaican woman, Alphina Brown at Merton Register Office. She also went on to claim British citizenship.
