A carer who stole from an elderly widow's bank account on the day of her husband's funeral claimed she "snapped."
Margaret McPhail, 62, carried out a total of £11,800 of cash withdrawals on 87-year-old Agnes Fowler's account from her home in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire. McPhail - who cared for her neighbours - withdrew the cash between March 5, 2019 and January 21, 2020.
She was snared after family members went through bank statements after Mrs Fowler's husband's death. A transaction found to have taken place on the day of the funeral led to them uncovering further unsanctioned uses of the bank account.
