It is one of the few things that has possibly taken the media's attention away from the credit crunch in recent months, so you have no doubt heard all about the court proceedings in regards to the case of Anne and John Darwin. The story that seemed to spiral into a black hole of family deceit and turmoil has been publicly splashed across the news since last year.
The case is one of the largest un-veiled fraud stories the modern United Kingdom has heard of, with there being everything included to make up a real high profile scandal. The story includes love, death, money, lies and the law, being the main reason for making it into the big story it is.
Who would have thought that the little old lady who claimed to be the widow to hard working prison security guard John Darwin would later be sent to jail for over 10 unlawful acts? More shocking still is that they managed, and decided to, live the lie of his death for more than five years and convince their two sons they had lost their dear father.
Many are very pleased to see that the pair will be facing a minimum of six years behind bars for their lies, with Anne being given a longer sentence than her husband due to her "compulsive lies" and deceit while under oath.
Most feel that the real victims of this whole train wreck of a crime are the two sons, who have had to endure losing their father and being stricken with depression and grief, only to now never wish to set eyes on him ever again. There are reports that their mother still pleads and hopes that they will change their minds and come to forgive their parents, but it has been said that the sons still wish to ignore them from now on.
All this from trying to cheat the law and using up their life insurance. Apparently the phrase "crime doesn't pay" is quite literal.
