A 'devious' lied to her best friend and bridesmaid for years to con out of her more than £100,000.
Anna Bonner asked Susan Hughes for vast sums of money to support a sick friend's cancer treatment, the Echo reports. But the cash was actually being used to support Bonner's own lifestyle, a court heard.
The 40-year-old, from Liscard, in Merseyside even encouraged a crush Ms Hughes had on the man, who she only met a few times, getting her to write letters and send gifts that she believed were going to him but were actually being stolen by Bonner.
