A husband accused of drowning his wife to claim £3.5 million life insurance told a friend she had "died in her sleep", a court has heard.

The 47-year-old drowned in a 4ft deep swimming pool at a cottage they rented while on holiday in a remote part of western Denmark. After her death, McPherson told friend Joseph Ennis-Cole she had died while asleep, before inviting him to pretend he was also a widower at a group called Widowed and Young, which he described as "like Tinder for widows". Joseph Ennis-Cole did not attend. McPherson met another woman at the group four months after the death of his "besotted" wife. Mother-of-one Ms Leeson married the defendant at a no expense spared ceremony at a Cheshire castle in 2014 following a whirlwind romance. Ms Leeson's family, from County Wicklow, Ireland, own a successful construction business in Sale, … [Read more...] about Husband who ‘drowned wife to claim £3.5m insurance’ told friend she ‘died in her sleep’

The best electric bikes you can buy in 2021
STRUGGLING to find the best electric bike for you? We’ve scoured the internet to source the best e-bikes on the market. Electric bikes come in all shapes and sizes, with the only difference between an e-bike and a normal one being the inclusion of a battery and a small motor. This motor features pedalling assistance and is generally found either in one of the wheels’ hubs or on the frame by the pedals themselves. The addition of this technology often leads to electric bikes not only being heavier than a standard bike, but more expensive too. How much do electric bikes cost?

Mum, 36, couldn’t buy food after Amazon overcharged her £720 for a laptop bought to home school her kids
A MUM-OF-THREE was left unable to afford food after Amazon overcharged her by £720 for a laptop she bought to home-school her children during lockdown. Gemma Carpenter, 36, purchased a £900 ASUS laptop so her teenage sons, aged 13 and 15, could access remote learning while schools are closed. She had chosen to pay for the laptop in five monthly instalments of £180 - but was left shocked after her card declined when she attempted to pay for her Tesco food shop. After checking her bank balance, Gemma, from Newport, Wales, discovered the world's largest online retailer had taken the entire amount of £900. The civil servant was left "incredibly hard-up" for the rest of the month, resorting to selling her clothes online to make ends meet. She claimed she repeatedly complained to Amazon, but was told the mistake was a "technical error" that they could not fix. Amazon have since apologised for the "technical issue" and suggested that a full refund could be given if the … [Read more...] about Mum, 36, couldn’t buy food after Amazon overcharged her £720 for a laptop bought to home school her kids
