Panama, that was 4 years later. For example, the bedsit he was hiding in next door some of the time, they sold under their son's name and then transfered the money to Panama for them to buy a house there like. Sorry but he had to know.

You obviously know much more than me on this one. I'm somewhat glad that their kids didn't have to actually "lose" their dad twice.
 
Originally from Blackhall Colliery. Didn't the house in Seaton , not have a false wall or something, and he was living in a room/space behind it.

He was living behind a fake wall in a room prepared and ready for his staged dissapearance.
When he was freed on licence he was arrested for failing to declare a trip to Ukraine to visit his 25 year old girlfriend.

Absolutely outrageous that he was sentenced to 9 years for fraud when people who kill, rape, assault and abuse get much less. Shows how the law protects money ahead of people.
