Boyd gives mum $100k

- VANDA CARSON

BRISBANE Broncos captain Darius Boyd has been given approval by a Brisbane court to give his mum a slice of his inheritanc­e.

In the District Court yesterday, Judge Greg Koppenol sanctioned the payment of $100,000 to Boyd’s mother Rochelle Lyndal Fleur Boyd, 53, from Coombabah.

The money is part of $623,000 Boyd was bequeathed by his grandmothe­r and “Number 1” fan, Delphine Merle Boyd, a widowed dressmaker, who died aged 87 on September 17 last year.

Judge Koppenol told the court that he was satisfied the proposed settlement was appropriat­e.

The $100,000 out-ofcourt settlement was agreed to on August 21 at a conference with Darius’ lawyers, and those for his mother.

Rochelle Boyd told the court she did not receive a cent under her mother’s will and has total assets of $52,209.

She receives a disability pension and lives in a share house, the court was told.

Rochelle was not close to Delphine Boyd, the court was told.
