A 'despicable' conman stole hundreds of pounds from a pensioner on the day her husband died. A judge said of Paul McFadden: "At the end of the day, what you did was prey on a very old lady who believed that you had her best interests at heart'
McFadden, 39, was jailed this week over a 14-month campaign of fraud, which saw him steal more than £100,000 from his elderly victim. His swindle continued even after his victim, Elizabeth Cain, died, leaving her with less than £100 to her name, a court was told.
He even targeted the OAP on the day her husband, Terence, died, making three £500 bank transfers out of her account and into his own.
