Judge accused of changing will for her children’s gain

A district court judge has gone on trial accused of trying to deceive an elderly man into leaving half his estate to her children.

Heather Perrin, aged 60, ran a solicitors firm before being appointed to the bench and was asked by her long-term friend and client, Thomas Davis, to help draw up a will for him.

Ms Perrin is alleged to have altered the will without his knowledge to the benefit of her son and daughter.
