Mum must repay £50,000 she stole from daughters

A mother has been ordered to pay back £50,000 inheritance she stole from her two daughters.

Katherine Hill, 53, from Alltwen in Pontardawe, Neath Port Talbot, and her 93-year-old father Gerald Hill, from Fairwood in Swansea, were found guilty of fraud by abuse of power after a trial last year.

They were sentenced to 30 months in prison and a 12-month sentence, suspended for 18 months, respectively.

The £50,000 inheritance was left to Gemma and Jessica Thomas by their grandmother Margaret Hill in a trust for their 25th birthdays.
