Brit steals over Rs13.7M from dementia-stricken mum to fund trip to Mauritius

A British son, Karl Zierold, stole over £250,000 (Rs13.7 million) from his dementia-suffering mother to fund a lavish lifestyle, including trips to Mauritius and Dubai.

Zierold, who had control of his mother’s bank account as the lasting power of attorney, confessed to the theft after his family discovered an unpaid bill for his car.

He admitted to giving £180,000 (Rs9.9 million) to a potential business partner and using the rest for luxury holidays and payments on a Mercedes V8 GT.

Zierold’s actions have caused emotional distress for his family, as they no longer have a say in his mother’s care and are unable to afford her expenses.

He has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison.
