A scheming solicitor branded The Vulture swindled £90,000 from the blind widow of a millionaire Black Country industrialist, the Express & Star can reveal.

Veronica Wilkinson spent thousands on plastic surgery, designer clothes, pets and a £37,000 Audi within days of the death of 86-year-old Les Carrier.

Mr Carrier, former chairman of Wednesbury-based steel firm FH Lloyds, lived with his wife Doris, known as Dot, for most of their married life in Codsall.
