A man embezzled more than £120,000 from his seriously ill girlfriend and secretly married another woman at a “plush hotel”, a court has heard. William Dunn allegedly took cash from Lynda Grant’s accounts while she suffered from life-threatening conditions - then wed Karen Dolan without her knowledge.
Nurse Lynda, who worked at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre, spent around two years in hospital and a care home. She suffered a series of complicated health issues and a brain injury, a jury was told.
Prosecutors claim Dunn, 69, pocketed the money after being granted Power of Attorney over Lynda, 63. He denies embezzling £122,027.15 between May 26, 2015, and March 1, 2017, “while holding the positions of Continuing Attorney and Welfare Attorney” over Lynda.
