Anne Darwin convicted

The wife of back-from-the-dead canoeist John Darwin has been convicted of her role in their £250,000 swindle.
Anne Darwin, 56, had claimed her "domineering" husband forced her to go through with the plan to con insurance and pension companies by faking his death at sea.
But the jury at Teesside Crown Court rejected her defence and convicted her of six counts of fraud and nine of money laundering after a seven day trial.
Darwin tricked everyone, including her sons Mark and Anthony, with "superb aplomb", maintaining the lie for over five years while she and her former prison officer husband set up a new life in Panama.
But her defence of "marital coercion" was undermined when the prosecution produced emails they sent to each other.
Anne Darwin showed no reaction as the jury foreman delivered the verdicts after four hours of deliberation. She will be sentenced alongside her husband later.
The couple's elaborate plan involved Mr Darwin paddling out into the North Sea in March 2002 in a home-made canoe then going into hiding while his wife claimed he was missing at sea.
Mrs Darwin turned on the tears when she broke the news of their father's disappearance to her sons, then declared him dead, conning insurers and pension funds out of the £250,000.
John Darwin came home after repeatedly phoning her in tears, and lived in secret in a room in the bedsit the couple owned next door to the family home.
Under the assumed identity John Jones, taken from a local child who died in infancy, he travelled around the world planning a new life for the pair.
The couple bought property in Panama which they hoped to transform into a canoeing centre.
But Darwin flew back to the UK and handed himself into a central London police station, claiming he was suffering from amnesia.
Mrs Darwin pretended to be shocked at the back-from-the-dead miracle but her story collapsed when a photograph was found on the internet showing the smiling couple posing in a Panama estate agents in 2006.
Andrew Robertson QC, prosecuting, said: "It was a scheme in which Anne Darwin not only played an equal and vital role but it was a role which she played with superb aplomb".
