Fraudster stole from crossbow victim

A “serial fraudster” has been jailed for six years after conning more than £200,000 out of a pensioner who was later murdered in a crossbow shooting.

Richard Wyn Lewis, 51, persuaded Gerald Corrigan, 74, a retired lecturer, and his partner, Marie Bailey, to hand him the money, Mold Crown Court heard yesterday.

Mr Corrigan was fatally shot with a crossbow outside his home in Anglesey, North Wales, in April 2019.

The court heard that the fraud was unconnected to his death but the offences came to light when Ms Bailey was interviewed in its aftermath.
