Unofficial Carer Accused Of £20K-Plus Fraud

An unofficial carer, accused of defrauding an elderly lady of over £20,000 appeared in court for the first time today.

Vicky McKinlay, 55, of Ross Road, Twickenham was never employed by the late Jean Livens, but was a friend who assisted her with shopping and other day-to-day tasks.

She appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates Court, which sent her to Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court for a plea and directions hearing on December 19.

McKinlay is charged with fraud by abuse of position between January 1, 2015 and April 17, last year to make a gain of £20,000.

She is also charged with a similar count of fraud on November 23, 2015 to make a gain of £3,200.
