Tomorrow Carolyn Diane Alleyne will be sentenced in the Manukau District Court after pleading guilty to six representative charges of theft by a person in a special relationship. When World War II veteran Ron Greenhalgh died on Father’s Day last year, he had nothing but the second-hand clothes on his back, after his daughter stripped him of his life savings and spent them. When Greenhalgh, 95, was admitted to a resthome with dementia, he had a home and significant savings at the end stages. Mike Greenhalgh says he feels betrayed after his sister Carolyn Diane Alleyne stole his fathers’ life savings while he had dementia. By the time he died, his daughter had allegedly spent about $250,000 of his money at the TAB and to maintain her own lifestyle, leaving him with barely enough to pay for his funeral.
