The family of an 80-year-old grandad with dementia who had his entire life savings stolen by his own granddaughter say they will "never understand" her "utter contempt and cruelty" towards him.
Nicole Taylor admitted wiping out Norman Glover's life savings at Preston Crown Court last month. The 25-year-old had been granted power of attorney and given access to her relative's bank accounts following his dementia diagnosis, but purely for the purpose of covering his household bills, Manchester Evening News reports.
However, in the space of a year, she spent a total of £37,363.63 on takeaways, tattoos and cash withdrawals. It is also believed that some of the money was used for drugs, after Taylor, of Kershaw Street, Chorley, admitted to having an addiction.
