Scam psychic letters ‘led to death of elderly widow’

A WIDOW died from stress brought on by demands for money from psychics operating from Ireland, her family have claimed.

English grandmother Mulvie Wright, 76, was spending up to £400 (€594) a month on psychics operating here, as well as others in Switzerland, Luxembourg and the US.

Ms Wright, of Cornwall, south-west England, was persuaded to part with the money after answering junk mail from psychics predicting bad luck unless she sent them cash.
