A Mt Sheridan man who moved in with his elderly mother after she was diagnosed with dementia has denied he stole thousands of dollars from her account. Kevin James Singleton, 46, has pleaded not guilty to wrongly taking $237,000 from his mother Beverley Tipo’s account over two years. The Cairns District Court heard yesterday that Singleton, along with his wife and three children, moved in to care for his mother in late 2012. He was charged with fraud less than three years later when, the court heard, his brother Vernon got hold of his mother’s bank statements and saw dozens of cash withdrawals, along with transfers from her superannuation.
