Katherine Hill , 53 , and her 93-year-old father Gerald Hill were found guilty of fraud by abuse of power.

The money was left to their daughters Gemma and Jessica Thomas by their grandmother Margaret Hill .

The 50,000 was placed in a trust fund with their mother as a trustee - to be accessed when they were 25 .

Between March 2016 and March 2017 , the account where the money was held was emptied in 10 withdrawals.

Jessica and Gemma say they want to forget their mother, and the end of court proceedings has brought a kind of closure, allowing them to "finally breathe" The girls said they saw people on social media claiming they were in prison with their mum and she "was still saying that she was innocent" They hope they will eventually see the money and "let go of this part of our lives".
