THE woman who claimed to have been locked up in a male section of Westville Prison for six months is a "liar".

The top management of the notorious prison said during a media briefing that the 36- year-old mother of five, Amaravathee Wilson, "fooled prison officials into believing that she was a man who had undergone a sex change".

Wilson hit the headlines last week when Sowetan broke the story about how she claimed to have been kept in the male section of prison against her will. But yesterday Correctional Services officials claimed that Wilson "wanted to be locked in the male section of the prison".
