A man accused of stealing more than £60,000 from his employer at The Post Office killed himself.
Martin Griffiths, from Ellesmere Port, ran the post office with his wife Gina for 14 years in Great Sutton. Gina was in charge of the retail side, while Martin took hold of the post.
They ran the Hope Farm Road Post Office together until in 2009 when Martin was accused of stealing over £60,000. They alleged he took the money from the branch over four years but really the computer tills system Horizon had wrongly showed the money to be missing.
