    Real charmer

    This week in cautionary tales, a Florida woman named Dorice Moore befriended a known lottery winner, ingratiated herself in his daily affairs to the point where she controlled his finances, embezzled his money, before murdering him and throwing a concrete slab over his bloody corpse.

    She’s obviously been to finishing school.

    Abraham Shakespeare (no relation) won a $17 million lottery in the United States in 2006. Moore befriended Shakespeare late in 2008, under the guise of writing a book chronicling the people who had taken advantage of Shakespeare since he became a lottery winner.

    That’s irony, Mr Shakespeare.

    More, from Sky news:

    They claimed Moore later became Mr Shakespeare’s financial adviser but eventually controlled every asset he had left, including an expensive home, the debt owed to him and a $1.5 million (£933k) annuity.

    “She got every bit of his money,” Assistant State Attorney Jay Pruner said in closing arguments. “He found out about it and threatened to kill her. She killed him first.”

    The court was told Moore tried to cover up the 43-year-old’s death for almost a year, including sending letters and text messages to his family to make it appear he was still alive.

    She also allegedly paid a friend to pretend to be Mr Shakespeare, and then call the dead man’s mother to say he was okay, but wanted to be left alone.
