Gary and Diane Mansell defrauded the vulnerable pair out of £117k and spent the money on fancy holidays, designer bags and house improvements
A couple who defrauded their elderly parents leaving them with just 28p broke down in tears after seeing each other on a court video link.
Liverpool Crown Court heard how Fred and Enid Mansell moved out of their family home on Stonyhurst Road, Woolton, in October 2017. Fred had recently been discharged from hospital after a serious fall and was undergoing rehabilitation, while Enid had dementia. However, once they were in the position of power of attorney Diane and Gary sold the house for £150,000 - considerably under the asking price. The court heard Diane and Gary used the money to convert their garage into a living area for their parents. However, Fred and Enid's living area was separated by a wooden door that was alarmed.
Despite this, Diane hated having to look after Fred and Enid. One message heard during the trial claimed she was "used and abused by the b*******"." The pair, who met in 2001 and married in Las Vegas four years later, made over 100 withdrawals from Fred and Enid's accounts for around £158,000. She added this not only had a financial impact but a significant impact on Fred and Enid's mental health. In a brief victim impact statement, Fred, who is now 83, said he "did not want to be here anymore following the ordeal". Enid died in December last year aged 81.
Lloyd Morgan, defending Gary Mansell, said his court date marked his client's 61st birthday. He called his client a man of effective good character, as Gary had one previous historic conviction for an unrelated offence.
