Lynda Rickard, 62, was found guilty of murdering James Sootheran, 59, at his property, High Havens Farm in the village of South Newington, Oxfordshire, in March 2014.
A carer who deliberately starved her live-in landlord to death to inherit a slice of his multimillion-pound estate was convicted of murder today after his skeletal body was found next to a plate of McDonald s.
Lynda Rickard and her husband Wayne moved into a Oxfordshire farmhouse set on 60 acres of land owned by James Anthony Sootheran in 2006.
The 62-year-old cared for his aging mother Joy Sootheran, but despite receiving £47,000 a year in her role, she soon started using the woman s money as her own.
Mother-of-three Lynda had previously admitted forging the will of Ms Sootheran, in an attempt to gain half of her £1.5million estate.
