A terminally ill woman with a brain tumour gave evidence to a court from her hospice bed to help convict a thief who stole her purse.
Bonnie Hughes, 33, was unable to attend the proceedings in person due to her condition, but still managed to explain to magistrates via video link what happened to her in March last year at Pyramids Shopping Centre in Birkenhead, Merseyside.
Paul Hodgson, 48, was found guilty and jailed for 13 months. Last year, his accomplice Steven Watterson, 57, admitted the theft and was handed an eight-month prison sentence.
Ms Hughes had left the CeX shop when two men asked her the time and, as she tried to answer them, they stole her purse from her pocket.
