A greedy son and his wife have been jailed after they stole £117,000 from his own parents and splurged on luxurious goods - draining their bank account, leaving them with only 28p.
A greedy son and his wife have been jailed after they stole £117,000 from his elderly parents and splurged on luxury holidays and sportscars.
The Mirror reports that detectives had searched their property at the very beginning of the investigation, and seized multiple high-end items found inside. It transpired that only child Gary and Diane had used the money - which they accessed through a legal agreement to act as his parent's financial representatives - to make expensive purchases and jet off on all-inclusive holidays.
In Liverpool Crown Court, it was heard that their luxury purchases included a 14-day £7,900 holiday in Jamaica, a kitchen extension costing £25,000 and a £4,000 holiday in Cape Verde. Mrs Mansell also splashed out on £9,000 in cosmetic dental work, while purchasing three Chanel bags and one Louboutin bag. Gary also bought her a diamond eternity ring for £3,800.
Fred and Enid, who did not leave the house regularly, enjoyed only one holiday to Llandudno during their stay at their son's house. Enid has since died, and the elderly husband has been severely affected by the incident.
