She withdrew £39,945 from cash machines, on many occasions around Abbey Wood, and then placed cash into her personal account.




She also activated pre-paid credit cards for survivors.

Money was spent on expensive meals, clothing and bags plus flights to Los Angeles,  Paris, Reykjavk, and Dubai.

NHS

Before that, she worked for the NHS and admitted defrauding Medway NHS Trust out of £35,050 in 2016 after submitting four false invoices with her bank details on them.

Even after being arrested on 1st August she continued to use a pre-paid credit card. The judge branded her “utterly repugnant” upon sentencing her to five and a half years.

  • What a vile specimen this is, I do hope she has to pay this money back before she kicks the bucket.
    We now are paying to keep her staying ugly, fed and watered for 3 years, lets face it she wont be doing the whole sentence. Hope she suffers, nothing but a Thief,
