Bank chief's £47,000 con

A RETIRED bank manager who struggled to make ends meet from his pension swindled a vulnerable care home resident out of more than £47,000.

Lyall McRobb, of Newtonhill, near Stonehaven, was entrusted with the care of the 81-year-old's finances following the death of her husband in 1995.

He managed the retired charity worker's bank account and paid her bills.
