‘She showed absolutely no concern’
OUTSIDE court, senior investigating officer Duncan Thorpe, of GMP, said: “This is a tragic case in which an elderly man has been killed by his own daughter, who then went on to fraudulently claim benefits of over £180,000.
“She showed absolutely no concern for what she had done and denied everyone the chance to say goodbye, as Kenneth lay buried at the bottom of his own garden, just metres from her own bedroom window.
“Despite having years to tell someone what really happened, she only came forward when she had no other choice.
“The impact on the family and friends of all concerned cannot be underestimated. I hope that the family can now move forward with their lives.”
