Re: Bereavement

Will the occupants be evicted if the lease is not renewed?

My family burial plot was purchased in 1850...

One would presume the family members still alive will renew the lease,

Re: Bereavement

Spoke to the police officer who is dealing with the case and once we told her who we are and that M had passed away she was very open on what was happening with the investigations, her suspicions and how they are going to move on with the investigations.
She told us that a substantial amount of cash was taken from M's safe in November 2012 and the care worker who is under suspicion actually phoned up to report the theft, CID took the safe away for finger printing and only found one persons finger prints on and in the safe 'the carers', they interviewed her and she pointed the finger at M's cousin, they let the carer go as they didn't have enough evidence on her.
They've looked into the carers finances and found that she has been spending a lot of money over the past couple of years, she's been having two holidays a year, she has a lot of high end consumer goods in her home and she recently bought a brand new car paid for in cash 'not bad for a single mother on a carers wage'
I really cant understand why they haven't arrested her and brought her in for more questioning??
We told the officer that we where informed that there was a few hundred pounds in her purse the day before she was rushed into hospital (she was taken to hospital on the 27/12/12) and it wasn't there when we went through M's belongings, M was very careful with paper money (one would say obsessive) she would fold each note in half and then fold it again and put twenty s, tens and fiver's in there own little segment within her purse, all we found was two twenty pound notes and a tenner thrown in the safe not like M at all.
We also told her that we contacted the carers employers to find out the combination of the safe or at least get the key, they told us that they have no knowledge of a safe so couldn't help us, the officer said obviously one of them knew as her fingerprints where all over it.
The officer is determined to bring this carer to task so she was going to ask for some advise off CID and maybe pull all the carers and the employers in at the same time and say they've got got new incriminating evidence so it's time to come clean and see if anyone cracks.
The officer is going round to M's cousins on Monday to see if she can give her a more detailed account of the thefts seeing as she was round M's most days, so we'll see what comes of that.
We have all the receipts of payments and bank deposits made by M's cousin (she was very meticulous with her book keeping and every penny is accounted for).

This carer must have stolen tens of thousands of pounds off M over the years, I can't believe she's managed to get away with it for so long.
At least M's cousin had the foresight to step in and handle her finances before she was bled dry by this low life, just wished she'd told us about it as it was happening.

Re: Bereavement

Swifty - that is absolutely heartbreaking and one of the things we all fear for relations with learning disabilities. I so hope you get justice for M and can ensure that this person cannot do it ever again.

Didn't they even try to explain that it was "a civil matter"?

Re: Bereavement

So do I, and if they get the culprit I hope the police confiscate all the ill gotten goods and and at least some of the money will be returned to the family although I'm not holding my breath on that one.
Another thing! we found a load of red letter bills from the water company, gas etc that we didn't tell the officer about, the carer should have paid all M's bill as and when they came in for payment, I'm thinking that she took the money and never paid the bills MUST INFORM THE OFFICER ON MONDAY WHEN SHE STARTS HER NEW SHIFT

Sorry? I don't understand how it was a civil matter, can you explain please

Anything less than breaking or chopping off the carer's fingers is likely to be impermanent. :evil:

Certainly - it is cop-speak for "We are too stupid / lazy to be bothered with it."

Re: Bereavement

hit them hard in the pocket, greedy thieves feel it the most when they've lost everything. It's in their nature to want more so taking it away will be like doing hard time to them, and of course prison.
I'd just feel sorry for her kids, they've done nothing wrong

Re: Bereavement

Yes, you must Swifty - although it's very harrowing, it's worth doing not just for you but for others. And you would really kick yourself in years to come if you didn't get this individual taken out of action. Bet M isn't the only one.
