The widow of a victim of the 7/7 London bombings has been jailed for stealing £43,000 from her son's compensation.

Louise Gray, 42, of Sheldrake Drive in Ipswich, frittered away her £250,000 compensation on cars, clothes and luxury holidays before turning to her son's fund, Ipswich Crown Court heard.

She was jailed for two years and eight months after admitting stealing the cash.

The court heard Adam Gray was 11-years-old when his father was killed and he handed his money to his mother for safekeeping when he turned 18.

Michael Crisp, prosecuting counsel, told the court that when Adam later asked for his money, his mother had claimed she had a tumour.

He said: "The health fears she expressed in texts were unfounded and emotional blackmail."

Words fail me.

If I was him I'd sell everything she owns whilst she's away on holiday. and all the money he has over the amount he lost. keep that too.

There should be a confiscation order including her house, although the fat b1tch is probably in rented.

Hope she gets some serious " Bad Girls " treatment.

The one person who you should be able to trust is your Mother, If you can't trust your mother who can you trust. IMHO she ain't no Mother but a very self centered and selfish woman.
