Canoe scam wife to repay thousands
Updated on 11 November 2009
Fraudster Anne Darwin faces 30 months in jail if she does not repay the sum of nearly £600,000 she made from the faked death scam she carried out with her husband, a judge has ruled.
Mrs Darwin, 57, was told to give back £591,838.25, while her husband John, 59, has to pay a nominal £1 because he is penniless.
The married couple, who conned insurance companies after they staged Mr Darwin's death in a bogus canoeing accident, have now had their assets confiscated.
