What is wrong with the world??

John Darwin -->

Ok so unless you have been sat under a rock for the past week and a bit you will not have been able to miss the weirdest news story in the world.

John Darwin who disappeared and was presumed dead over five years ago from near his home in Hartlepool after he had gone out in his canoe, has walked into a central London police station saying that he had no recollection of the last five years and that he doesn’t know where he’s been.

A likely story.

There’s just one slight problem, a photo was released shortly after his miraculous ‘reappearance’ apparently showing Mr Darwin with his wife and an estate agent in the city of Panama in Central America.

You think that’s shocking well keep on reading!

Mr Darwin and his wife were with an estate agent who they had just bought a house from, but here comes the twist. The money they used to buy the house with was partly from Mr Darwin’s life insurance money and the money that his wife received from the sale of their family home in Hartlepool.

Shocking? Well keep on reading because it’s about to get worse.

My Darwin’s smashed canoe was found washed up on Hartlepool beach shortly after his disappearance. Mr and Mrs Darwin have two grown up sons together who for the past five years have believed that their father had drowned at sea in a mysterious canoeing accident. Not only was their father alive and well but also it emerged yesterday that their father was still in their family house. Mr Darwin has spoken of how he snuck into a bed-sit adjoining the family home whenever friends and family came to visit.

Are these the normal activities of a sane man??

Ok so maybe not, but it can’t be said that Mrs (Anne) Darwin has had any less involvement in the scandal than her husband. Not only has she kept her husband hidden from the world, she has helped him to commit fraud and had his declared ‘dead’ so that she could claim the life insurance money.

What a nice lady she must be.

On a plus side both Mr and Mrs Darwin are in court today to answer for their actions. Mr Darwin is charged with fraud (for the life insurance money), falsely representing his death and somehow obtaining a fake passport and flying to Panama from the UK.

This story is far from finished and if the plot so far is anything to go by I don’t think that the ending can be anything but dramatic!
