A Romeo pensioner at the centre of a 'love triangle' was yesterday cleared of all wrongdoing - after giving his seriously ill girlfriend's life savings to his wife-to-be. William Dunn admitted sending more than £110,000 of Beatson cancer nurse Lynda Grant's money to bus firm boss Karen Dolan, after meeting them both on dating website match.com.
But the jury in his trial found a charge of embezzlement not proven by majority, after he claimed it was an investment and that both of his former partners knew about it. He had access to frugal Lynda's bank accounts and NHS pension, as he was granted Power of Attorney over her, because she was taken into hospital and fell into a coma.
Lynda, who has never received a penny of her life savings back, was later moved to a care home due to her health conditions. While he was in charge of 63-year-old Lynda's affairs, retired builder Dunn, 69, began a relationship with Dolan, 59.
