So we have people that can do anything to avoid paying
debt being incurred over time,a fraudster claimed he was a quadriplegic
and faked being in a vegetative state for two years.
Alan Knight, 47, of Swansea,
conned his elderly neighbour out of £40,000 and claimed he was unable to move
from the neck down in a bid to avoid being punished for the crime.
He was caught out when doctors watching his hospital
room spotted him eating, wiping his face and even writing.
He was also caught on CCTV pushing a shopping trolley
around a Tesco store and driving.
The father-of-three’s wife, Helen, kept up the act by
being pictured ‘caring’ for her ‘comatose’ husband.
Det Con Paul Harry, from South Wales Police, said: ‘In my
entire career this is the most calculated, long-term deception of a vulnerable,
elderly neighbour I have ever seen.’ Better criminal mind
