A woman thought to be the oldest victim of the Horizon IT scandal said the ordeal “destroyed” her health as she celebrated the publication of an inquiry report.

Betty Brown, 92, from County Durham, ran the Annfield Plain Post Office near Stanley with her late husband Oswall, in the 1990s and early 2000s.
