A woman swindled thousands of pounds from her partner’s bank account after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, before blowing savings he had put aside for his funeral.
Rebecca Leveridge, 52, and Danny Gray had been an item for 20 years, meaning when he became seriously ill in May 2018, he entrusted her to help look after his finances.
Mr Gray was dealt a blow when informed by NHS doctors that he might only have three to six months to live. However, he survived longer with chemotherapy. Leveridge took on a “caring role” and he handed her £5,000 to keep safe, to cover his funeral expenses.
