Mother stole from son’s cancer fund

    The mother of a boy who died from a rare form of cancer has admitted to defrauding the fund set up to pay for his treatment.

    Leeds United fan Toby Nye, who stuck up relationships with players and staff at Elland Road, suffered from high-risk neuroblastoma and died at the age of six in January.

    His mother, Stacey Worsley, pleaded guilty to fraud when she appeared at Leeds Crown Court.

    The Yorkshire Evening Post reported she stole £100,000 and "abused her position" as a trustee of the fund.

    Worsley, who admitted one charge of committing fraud by false representation, is due to be sentenced on 29 March.
