Madeline Shaw stole £125,000 from her frail grandfather's account over 12 months, including after his death, and was jailed for 18 months at York Crown Court.
- Madeline Shaw, 32, was jailed for 18 months at York Crown Court after pleading guilty to fraud by abuse of position involving her frail grandfather John Mallaby's finances.
- On November 13, 2019, Shaw was granted a lasting power of attorney over John Mallaby's finances after she had been managing his money informally following his January 2019 fall.
- Over the following 12 months Shaw removed 125,000 from his bank account, including five transactions after he died on September 18, 2021, discovered by his daughter.
- Recorder Patrick Palmer told Shaw the account had been drained and needs were unmet, while PC Emma Harris said Shaw betrayed trust and pleaded guilty when confronted with evidence.
- Zarreen Alam-Cheetham said Madeline Shaw invested £53,626.93 in a property scam and argued the fraud was due to `stupidity` rather than premeditation.
