A carer who stole money from two elderly clients told a judge he has saved money towards paying them back. Razvan Ionita previously denied wrongdoing and was due to face a trial on October 25 last year.
But the 40-year-old, of Foster Court, Bath, appeared at Bristol Crown Court on September 8 last year and pleaded guilty to two charges of fraud. He admitted abusing his position as a carer to steal £5,650.95 from Grace Murphy between November 1, 2018 and August 1, 2019.
He also admitted abusing his position as a carer to steal £2,500 from Edith Jones between the same dates. Both women, who were in their 90s, have since died, the court heard.
