Daniel Tilden manipulated his grandparents into handing over £384,000 A man who conned and bullied his elderly grandparents into giving him their life savings has been jailed. Daniel Tilden, 31, forced his victims, who were too afraid of him to refuse his demands, into giving him £384,000 over a ten-year-period. On Wednesday, April 24, Tilden was handed a sentence of three years and nine months in prison at Swindon Crown Court.
He was subsequently re-arrested and charged with controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate or family relationship under section 76 of the Serious Crime Act after manipulating his grandparents into handing over a total of £384,077. In a victim impact statement, the grandfather expressed his fear of refusing Tilden, likening his home life to being ‘under siege’ due to the incessant visits.
