'Devious' Laura McPherson even lied to her daughter
A 'wicked and devious' mum-of-two falsely claimed she had breast cancer so she could con her partner out of thousands of pounds. For five years Laura McPherson, 35, callously took advantage of Jon Leonard, a successful businessman who has raised millions of pounds for charity. A court heard how McPherson claimed she needed money for treatment at a private clinic in Austria - even telling her daughter she had cancer.
She isolated me from my friends and family and even since we separated she has been spreading lies about me. 'Laura told her daughter she had cancer but would never sit down and explain this to her. For the five years she pretended to have cancer she would tell me she was giving up and not going ahead with treatment. I now realise she was seeking attention.
