Woman steals money off 103-year-old client

Xinhua, July 7, 2015 Adjust font size:

An Australian woman pleaded guilty Tuesday for stealing almost 27,000 Australian dollars (20,000 U.S. dollars) from the 103-year-old Perth lady she was employed to care for.

Michelle Bronwyn Kotukutuk Stirling was employed by a professional care provider to look after the elderly woman who is blind and partially deaf.

She stole the money by illegally drawing money from the woman's bank account between December 2012 and January 2015.

Stirling pleaded guilty to one charge of stealing as a servant and was granted bail. Endi
