A family torn apart by the conman dubbed The Puppet Master have vowed to “never give up” on their mother in the hope she will leave him - despite not having seen her for eight years.
Sophie and Jake Clifton believe that their mother, Sandra, is the latest victim of Britain's most notorious fraudster, who is a master of coercive control and robbing people of their savings.
It is eight years since Robert Hendy-Freegard convinced Sandra to cut off all ties from her loving family.
