Ex-Cop Fleeces Dementia-Suffering Aunt Of £140,000; 97-Year Old Victim Lived In £450,000 House, Now Relegated To Nursing Home

In Portsmouth, U.K., Portsmouth Today reports:

• A FORMER police officer fleeced his 97-year-old aunt out of £140,000 so that he could live the high life. Jonathan Bowerman – the equivalent of a Detective Inspector in Australia before retiring – had taken control of her finances as she suffered from dementia. In doing so, the 64-year-old helped himself to her money, spending thousands on business-class flights, putting his two daughters through private school and eating at top restaurants. He bought himself a brand new £18,000 Volvo, visited the London Eye and Madame Tussauds and cleared debts of 50,000 Australian dollars. His aunt, Phyllis Boxer, lived in a £450,000 house in Portsmouth Road, Horndean, but following Bowerman's deceit is now in a care home on Hayling Island.
