A greedy businessman embezzled more than £160,000 from his sister and splashed out on holidays and private dental work.

David Bell stole the cash from dementia sufferer Janet Mann after he and his wife had been given power of attorney over her affairs.

The 67-year-old architect splashed out in exclusive stores, on beauty therapy, dental work and holidays in Cuba and the US.

Bell pleaded guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month to embezzling £160,998 while acting in the capacity of power of attorney between April 24, 2012 and January 15, 2020.

His wife, Elizabeth Bell, 73, had a not guilty plea accepted.
