Prosecutors said she had selected dead men, including her dad, as witnesses to her faked documents so they couldn’t be questioned by police
A sheep farmer who faked letters and will documents from a dead landowner to try to inherit his £1.1m estate has been jailed. Janice Margaret Johnson, 66, forged several papers that suggested she was entitled to the late John Harper’s farm, who lived around seven miles away from her.
Prosecutors said she had "deliberately selected" dead men, including her dad, as "witnesses" to her faked documents so they couldn’t be questioned by police. But she was caught out after leaving a trail of errors in her "desperate attempt" to win the farm solely for herself and keep her business going, the court heard.
Detective Sergeant James Graham said: “This was a complex investigation. Johnson made multiple claims of anonymous letters written by her neighbour claiming that he wanted her to be the sole beneficiary.
