A vulnerable pensioner battling illness faced the heartbreaking decision of selling his home after his caretaker, Alistair Anderson, betrayed his trust by gambling away £90,000 of his savings.
Anderson, 60, initially appeared to be a trustworthy friend, assisting the pensioner as his health declined during the Covid-19 lockdown. However, over two years, the former chef and Westminster Abbey Marshal exploited his position of trust to feed his online gambling addiction, leaving the pensioner in dire straits.
