- Pamela Gwinnett, 63, who was convicted in absentia of stealing nearly £300,000 from 89-year-old Joan Green while acting as her carer, has been arrested in Tenerife and will be extradited to the UK to serve a six‑year sentence.
- Prosecutors say she isolated the vulnerable pensioner, gained control of her finances (using power of attorney) and even made false accusations against family members to maintain that control; Joan later died.
- Gwinnett allegedly spent the stolen money on an extravagant lifestyle — including a £22,500 car and beauty treatments — denied the claims when confronted and fled after a bail variation was refused.
