A middle-aged son,
who nicked thousands of pounds from his mother, has been given more
time to sell his matrimonial home to fund compensation before his
sentencing.
Peter
John-Baptiste, 54, claims his wife is being obstructive in selling
the property and recently successfully blocked a sale.
He appeared at
Isleworth Crown Court yesterday and was bailed to return on September
7 for sentence.
John-Baptiste, of
Dudley Gardens, Harrow was originally charged with stealing
£48,332.25 cash from Muriel John-Baptiste at her Trellick Tower flat
in Golborne Road, North Kensington between December 1, 2015 and
September 14, 2016.
He pleaded guilty
last year and sentence was deferred to give him the opportunity to
repay the money, but on February 21 suffered a stroke.
His property is
valued between £460,000 and £480,000 and the court heard his wife
took him to Uxbridge Family Court, in pursuing her own legal
challenge.
She allegedly
sacked estate agents prior to successful sales on three different
occasions.
