The wife of back-from-the-dead canoeist John Darwin told a jury she wished her husband really had drowned.
What I never understood about the whole scheme was the small sum of money involved hardly life-altering if you consider the whole picture.
Surely if you were going to creae this elaborate of a scheme cause distress to your children etc etc you'd do it for a bigger sum than £250,000?
Maybe it just seemed like a good idea at the time?
Of course £250,000 might go a long way in Panama. Who knows.
