Man ‘dressed up like his dead mother for SIX YEARS to steal $115,000 in benefits’

With her nephew at her side, this elderly lady looks the picture of innocence as she tries to renew her driving licence. In fact, this extraordinary picture shows Thomas Prusik-Parkin who is in a New York court accused of an astonishing scam in which he dressed up as his dead mother for six years to steal $115,000 in benefits. Officials say he donned a wig, heavy make-up, old-fashioned dresses and a cane to pretend he was his mother.
