The prosecution alleged he had her Barclay card and PIN, and took a further 2,900 from various cash points.

He is said to have used 3,000 to buy Beatles memorabilia, including signed photographs.

He is also accused of changing the will of 85-year-old Ronald Vickery, who died in 2005, so he could gain a Jaguar car, 20,000 and the rights to do what he felt necessary with the rest of the estate.

He is accused of using some of the money to buy a Toyota Rav 4.
