He has now settled in the Philippines with his new wife Mercy May, 48.

The couple married in 2015 after striking up a romance online.

How long was John Darwin in jail?

John had planned a new life for himself and his ex-wife Anne, in Panama, using £250,000 in insurance and pension payouts.

He then spent several years hiding in a house adjoining his home in Seaton Carew as Anne acted the role of a widow.

The couple allowed their sons Mark, 45, and Anthony, 42, to believe their dad was dead.

Darwin then suddenly reappeared at a London police station in 2007, claiming he had lost his memory.

They were later caught, with John and Anne being jailed in 2008.

In 2008, Mr Darwin sentenced to six years and three months in prison after admitting eight deception charges.

Mrs Darwin was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in jail for fraud and money-laundering.

Are John and Anne Darwin still together?

No they are not.

While in prison, Mrs Darwin decided to separate from her husband, after seeing a psychologist.
