A mum who helped to defraud a family out of their home was controlled by her police officer ex, a court has been told.
Emma Yankey, 44, has admitted three charges of fraud relating to depriving her former partner Brian Yankey's family out of a home they had owned for decades. Yankey, of Merseyside, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday for sentencing.
The Liverpool Echo reports that the house was sold to Brian Yankey in 2012 and transferred to Emma in April of the following year. She then took out a fraudulent loan application under the name Emma Norman before selling the house for £196,000 in 2014.
