Heartless brothers stole their own mum's Nottingham home

THEY FORGED HER SIGNATURE WHILE SHE WAS AWAY IN PAKISTAN

- By MARTIN NAYLOR

TWO heartless Nottingham brothers stole their own mother’s house from her while she was away in Pakistan.

Nottingham Crown Court was told how Mohammed Ali and Mohammed Iqbal hatched a plan to forge her signature to apply for a mortgage she did not want or need and then transferred the address into one of their names.

When the £104,000 in cash landed in her account, Iqbal, who had access to it and her password, moved the money into his and his brother's accounts and spent it.

Six years later, the home in Beeston, which is in need of work, has still not been moved back into the victim's name as it should be.

Jailing the brothers, Judge Mark Watson said: "The five counts I have to deal with you for today are that your father, having passed away with no will, left the family home to your mother. You then, between you, planned and executed that plan to steal it from her.
