Jamiel Slaney-Summers: Care Home Fraudster Jailed for Faking Will
Slaney-Summers was sentenced to five-and-a-half years for fraud after altering the will and stealing more than £6,000 from vulnerable resident Rita Barnsley.
- Jamiel Slaney‑Summers, Amberley Care Home manager, was sentenced on December 5 to five‑and‑a‑half years for fraud and one year concurrent for theft after altering Rita Barnsley's will worth more than £175,000.
- The investigation found a mismatched, 'sham' will that appeared shortly after Rita Barnsley died on August 5 2021, after Dudley Trading Standards uncovered grooming and isolation by staff.
- The estate included a £175,000 property and £28,000 in savings, with Slaney‑Summers secretly withdrawing £6,000, and the fake will leaving her 50%, Lyn Walker 25%, and staff £5,000.
- Graham Walker's hospital admission on Thursday delayed sentencing for him and Lyn Walker, while Judge Butterfield KC condemned the offence as severe and praised Verna Wooley's tenacity for reporting the fraud.
- A jury convicted the trio in under 90 minutes on October 24, in one of the UK's largest elder‑fraud prosecutions, highlighting the case's broader significance.
