Former Selkirk Common Riding standard bearer admits embezzling £16,000 from mother-in-law
Kirsten Darling, 35, stole that money while acting under a welfare and financial power of attorney granted to her and her husband Roland for her mother-in-law as she was suffering from dementia at that time.
She pleaded guilty at Selkirk Sheriff Court to committing that offence at her home in the town’s Leslie Place between April and July last year.
