Woman convicted for trying to kill sister by incinerating her alive to hide £115,000 fraud
Cathy Bartlett, 30, blew sister Rachael’s money on Premier League tickets to “buy friends” and on lavish gifts for lover Julian Lane, who was not involved.Mum-of-two Cathy, of Fawley, Hants, set fire to their mother Frances’ house in nearby Bartley as Rachael, 34, slept.
Bartlett believed she was about to be discovered when Rachael asked to see her accountant and bank manager.
A Winchester crown court jury convicted Bartlett, who worked at Rachael’s firm NurtureItGlobal, of attempted murder and frauds, including taking £43,000 from their father Michael.
She will be sentenced next week.
Prosecutor Kate Lewis said: “She took extreme and unimaginable measures to hide her dishonesty.”
