85-year-old fraud accused doctor says he is too old to stand trial
He is accused of colluding with a funeral parlour director to assist a couple to fraudulently claim R6.5 million. He is charged with issuing a fake death certificate to assist a Durban man's girlfriend to fraudulently claim life cover.
The Doctor is one of four people charged with fraud in the Durban Regional Court, in a case involving an illegal claim of R6.5 million.
According to the Hawks, the incident occurred in 2020, when one of the accused took out a R6.5-million policy and then faked his own death. Three months later, his girlfriend allegedly submitted a fraudulent claim as the beneficiary.
Do you think people should be held responsible for their crimes regardless of being "too old"??
