A 'despicable' woman convicted of killing a pensioner who had a heart attack when she burgled him has been jailed for 20 years.
William 'Billy' Jackson, 71, went into cardiac arrest when Sarah Daniel broke into his home in Washington. Daniel and her partner, Leanne English, had plotted to raid Mr Jackson's home and they also preyed on another vulnerable man.
Newcastle Crown Court heard Mr Jackson lived in the Concord area of Washington and had advanced heart disease, diabetes and mobility issues - which meant he used a scooter to get around outside and would spend most of his time at home sitting in a fishing chair in his kitchen as it was the most comfortable position he could achieve, so much so he slept there too.
