JONH andANNE DARWIN the dissapearing canoeist fraud

Could you lie to your children that their other parent was dead --for the sake of money

This British middle aged couple have both got 6years for massive insurance fraud.
They faked his death in a boating accident on the sea. She hid him in their home and lied to their sons and everyone else.
Years later he turns up claiming amnesia.However they were photoed in Panama and one of the british newspapers got hold of the pic.
Could you make it up?

Such an old story.

The case has only just been prooved
This story may be of interst to those outside the UK, i dont know yet?

How much money?

robtard--£250,000 about $500,000 paid out sometime from 2002 onward

No then.

We've only got the children's word that they didn't know. I'd probably lie and say I never knew about it, to avoid becoming an accessory.

i liked when they discussed this on mock the week and someone said "he's known as the canoe man...he got in a canoe once....15 years ago"...

If the sons have colluded,they cant go near their parents without being branded hypocrites by the press.They are adults leading their own lives during the years concerned. i consider their reactions genuine and fell most sorry for them .
