A South Korean court has sentenced former first lady Kim Keon Hee to 20 months in prison after finding her guilty of accepting bribes in return for political favours.

The case marks a historic moment in the country as both members of a former presidential couple are now in jail.

The Seoul Central District Court on Wednesday found Kim, 52, guilty of accepting bribes linked to the controversial Unification Church, and ordered her to serve a jail term, return a diamond necklace, and repay 12.85 million won (£6,500) in cash.
