The man has been lying about cancer for nine years. He was on vacation during chemo

For nine years, Lucy Witchard (31) of British Leicester believed that her husband, David Carroll (35), had cancer. At their meeting, he claimed to have leukemia. Later, there were cancers of the stomach and prostate. For a long time, she felt sorry for him. Until she discovered that he was lying.

Lucy thought it was strange for a while to never be allowed to go to treatments. "He then said that he wanted to protect me and that would make him too emotional," she told the BBC. The man always had stories that things were better or worse. "When I said that I doubted his treatment, he threatened to leave me, he said that our relationship would not work if I did not trust him." I finally started to doubt my own sanity, he was so manipulative. "

She only felt the real food when David said he had to go to the United States for treatment. With the help of her brother Tom, she discovered that he was celebrating his holidays there. Her husband had also earned 2,280 euros from her mother-in-law, destined for treatment. "I had given him money so that they could save his life in America," said mother-in-law Linda Eccles. "He was the dying man of my daughter, I did not want her to be a widow, I am wiped out by her lies, her disappointment, and her egoism."

Repetition
The worst thing is that the story repeats itself when the relationship is long and wide and that David is registered in a Leicester rugby club. . After an injury, he said the doctors had accidentally discovered that he was suffering from leukemia, said former teammate Jonathan Hunt. "We all dealt with him, he was treated all the time because everyone felt compassion."

David also has heart problems and should have surgery. "The club has organized two fundraising events to support it," Hunt said. "He later said that he was terminally ill and hoped that he could still be treated in the United States."

But this last trip did not take place. The judge convicted him for fraud and imposed a community service. He must also repay the money to his former mother-in-law and he is forbidden to contact.
