Wealthy Swiss banker takes disabled elderly husband on 'holiday of a lifetime' to India - and leaves him there because she was fed up paying for care bills


A wife who took her handicapped husband on a 'holiday of a lifetime' to India then dumped him there to save on care costs has been jailed for four years in Switzerland.
The wealthy 65-year-old banker showed the wheelchair-bound 74-year-old videos of 'palm-fringed beaches and luxury hotels' to convince him to come on the trip.
The woman - who had been paying £6,000 a month in care bills - then took him to a poverty-stricken suburb of New Delhi and paid a family £1,500 a month to take him in.

She then jetted home alone to continue her life of luxury in Zurich, a court in Winterthur was told.
But nine months after the trip in January 2008, the husband died due to 'lack of care and poor hygiene' and his body was cremated and thrown into a river, it was heard.
