A HOSPICE carer who used a dying man’s bank card for a spending spree has been jailed for her “systematic and wicked” crime. Lynn Hopkin, 54, stole £17,241.60 from Robin Clark as she went about using his money to fund a variety of purchases, including holidays. A Bournemouth Crown Court hearing on Friday, April 30, was told Hopkin carried out 101 transactions on the card. This offending started days after Mr Clark was transferred to Forest Holme hospice from hospital in summer 2019. The spending continued over several weeks, and was discovered when one of his executors visited a cashpoint after his death to find his bank account had been “drained of every last penny”.
