BIGAMY VICTIM'S DIVORCE.

Byline: By Gordon Currie

ONE of the women married to bigamist church minister and former policeman Roderick Sangster has divorced him.

Jill Sangster had her marriage to convicted fraudster Sangster brought to a formal end on Monday, according to documents at Perth Sheriff Court.

Sangster, 58, started a jail sentence last month after handing himself in after being found guilty of bigamy and forgery and going on the run.

Jill sought a "quickie" divorce on the grounds that they had lived apart for more than two years.

Sangster had previously been married for 25 years to Frances Tait, with whom he had four children.

They divorced before he married Jill in Florida in August 1996.

The couple separated in September 2002. Last month, Warwick Crown Court heard he married Janet Pollard in 2004 while still married to Jill, who declared her self bankrupt after he left her with pounds 30,000 of debt.

He told Janet, who was recovering from cancer, that he was divorced.

Sangster, originally from Perth, left her pounds 55,000 in debt and forged her signature to obtain a bank loan.

The women found out about each other after Jill contacted Janet when she was chasing up her husband's debts.
