Daughters 'plied farmer with sleeping pills to sign will leaving them £300,000'

A millionaire farmer was "plied" with alcohol and sleeping tablets by his daughters before they forced him to sign a will leaving them hundreds of thousands of pounds, it was alleged today at the High Court.

George Key, 89, was grieving for his wife of 65 years when his daughters Jane Key and Mary Boykin plotted to get £300,000 each in 2006, the court heard.

Making the allegations was Mr Key's son, Richard, who claims his father, who died in 2008, lacked the mental capacity required to make a will and wanted his two sons to inherit Hall Farm in Norfolk.

The daughters deny the claims. The case continues.
