Pair face jail for failing to bury grandmother

A MOTHER and daughter who left the corpse of a grandmother unburied for up to six months while one of them pocketed her pension were told they face jail.

The body of Olive Maddock, 95, was left rotting in the bedroom of her Merseyside home by daughter Olive Hazel Maddock, known as Hazel, and granddaughter Jasmine, 35.

Hazel Maddock, a television extra who has worked on Channel 4 dramas Brookside and Hollyoaks, admitted unlawful prevention of burial when she appeared at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday.
