A Liverpool man robbed his parents of their savings.

In doing so, he treated himself to a life of luxury and luxury with his wife.

Now it’s over: The two have to go to prison for six years.

British man Gary Mansell and his wife Diane were sentenced to six years in prison by a court in Liverpool because of fraud sentenced. The couple had lived a luxurious life for years using Gary’s parents’ savings. Of the 117,000 pounds (around 129,000 francs) that were originally in the pensioners’ bank account, Gary and Diane ended up leaving only 28 pence – the equivalent of 30 centimes.

61-year-old Gary and his 58-year-old wife Diane received power of attorney from Gary’s parents Fred and Enid in 2017. After their 77-year-old father suffered a serious fall and their 75-year-old mother was diagnosed with dementia, the senior couple moved in with Gary and Diane. After moving, the son sold his parents’ house – he kept the proceeds for himself.

Holidays and a gold BMW – the Mansells’ luxury life

At the same time, Gary and Diane began a life of luxury. As the Mirror reports, the couple spent the seniors’ money on luxurious all-inclusive holidays and luxury items over the course of three and a half years. Gary and Diane flew in business class to Hurghada in Egypt, to Barbados or to Jamaica in the Caribbean. When they were in New York, they stayed at the Grand Hotel. At home, Diane drove a gold BMW and had an extensive collection of Chanel and Louboutin bags. The couple also treated themselves to expensive fillets of beef or oysters in fine restaurants – always accompanied by champagne.

Every now and then Gary would post pictures on his Facebook account that showed him on dream beaches or airports. “We are waiting for our chauffeur to pick us up,” he wrote in a post. Meanwhile, his parents received meager ready-made meals from carers and lived a completely isolated life in the annex of their son’s house.

In court, the prosecution said that Gary and Diane “dreamed of becoming millionaires.” The couple lived a life that they actually couldn’t afford. Reading the sentence, the judge told Gary Mansell: “You cared little for your parents, they were just a cash cow to you who enabled you to lead this lifestyle. But they had a responsibility. You have grossly violated your parents’ trust.”
