There is no doubt that the biggest victims of John and Anne Darwin's fraudulent scheme were their two sons.
John faked his own death in a canoe accident back in 2002, while his former wife Anne played the part of the grieving widow and claimed his £250,000 life insurance policy.
Lying to both the police and friends is one thing, but the couple led their own heartbroken sons to believe that their father was dead for five years, The Mirror reports.
