A 62-year-old man has been jailed for 11 years and eight months for trying to murder a disabled woman to cover up the fact he’d stolen more than £100,000 from her over a period of more than two years.
Barry Andrew Riley, of East Morton in West Yorkshire, attempted to smother 75-year-old Ann Skelton with a pillow at her home in Westbury-on-Trym on 10 March 2018. Riley provided care for the victim, who had a degenerative physical condition, and he had Power of Attorney over her finances.
