A ”cold and manipulative” carer who stole from a vulnerable man has been ordered to pay reparation. Terrence Alvyn Cooksley, 68, pleaded guilty to a charge of theft by a person in a special relationship and was ordered to pay $5000 reparation, a $2000 fine and $130 in court costs when he appeared in the Hawera District Court today. The charge was in relation to the theft of cash and assets from Stratford man Trevor McAnnalley who died in July 2016. McAnnalley’s daughter Dianna Marsh and her husband Eric Marsh were present in court and Eric Marsh was given the opportunity to read out a victim impact statement on behalf of the family. Visibly upset and angry, Marsh said Cooksley had caused hurt and distress to the family. ”This has broken our family … this will now be hurt carried for a lifetime, with only one form of peace left to us – to have unscrupulous, cold, manipulative people bought to task – to have this unconscionable act of betrayal bough to light and justice to be served.” Marsh said Cooksley was his father-in-law’s friend but also his carer. The relationship soon became a concern when McAnnalley’s relationship with his family started to become distant. They soon found out Cooksley had become power of attorney upon Cooksley’s instructions which meant they received no information about McAnnalley and they were unable to speak to him. Marsh said the family were not informed about McAnnalley’s ongoing health problems. ”Time went on and visits to dad were becoming very few. Next we knew Terry had put dad into a resthome.” Marsh said that a month before McAnnalley died, Cooksley told him he was holding a considerable amount of cash for him that was ”well in excess” of $10,000. Marsh said the family were not informed until after the day after McAnnalley died because they were not noted as the next of kin at the rest home. It was the funeral director who rang them to tell them about his death. ”Upon talking to the rest home, dad had been deteriorating for over three months of organ failure and pneumonia. The reason for not informing us was we were not next of kin.”
