Jailed...Terry McGinlay

A CONMAN who stole £430,000 from a cancer patient with dementia to fund a luxury lifestyle has been jailed for six years and six months.

Terry McGinlay, 44, scammed elderly farmer David Wilson, who died earlier this year, out of his savings between 2019 and 2022.

Mr Wilson's friend told Carlisle Crown Court: “It was very cruel to watch a man who would do no harm to anybody agonise over losing so much money to a fraud.”
