英男子腳踩兩隻船 生下12個娃沒露餡

A supermarket manager committed suicide after the two families he had been hiding just ten miles apart for more than two decades discovered his secret double life.

Andrew Ingham, 50, divided his time between 12 children by two ‘wives’ who lived within a 20-minutes drive of each other in Hertfordshire.

But he committed suicide when Jacqueline, his legal spouse of 30 years, and his mistress Anita Barrett found out about each other, an inquest heard.

He sank into depression when they both left him in December last year and he was found dead in a tiny flat after being forced to move there.

His older children discovered his double life by piecing together clues they found on Facebook, and both women met in December.

Remarkably, he fathered four children with his mistress and eight children with his wife. Mr Ingham’s oldest child with his wife is 27, while his youngest child is eight.

During the hearing into his death at Chelmsford Coroner’s Court, Mrs Ingham, 48, and Miss Barrett, 42, sat at opposite ends of the courtroom.

Mr Ingham married Jacqui, 48, in 1983. Together they bought a house in Welwyn Garden City, Herts, where she still lives. Eight years into his marriage he started a relationship with Ms Barrett in Hoddesdon, 10 miles, or 20 minutes' drive, away.

The inquest heard that Mr Ingham committed suicide after feeling depressed about ‘events which had been going on in his personal life’. Before killing himself he left a number of suicide notes addressed ‘to whom it may concern’.

After the inquest Ms Barrett said: 'He spent half and half of his time between us. He was just a very good liar.'

She told The Sun: 'Both families know each other now. We all found out at the same time - the eldest kids used Facebook to put it all together.'英國一位超市經理在過去20多年中分別和兩位女子組建家庭，而且兩個家只相隔10英里。事情敗露後，這名男子自殺身亡。

50歲的安德魯•英厄姆生活在赫特福德郡，他和兩名女子分別組建家庭，生下了共12名子女。兩個家庭只相隔20分鐘車程。

審訊得知，當他已婚30年的合法妻子傑奎琳和情人阿妮塔•巴雷特都發現他腳踩兩隻船後，這名男子自殺身亡。

去年12月東窗事發後，兩位妻子都拋棄了他，於是他陷入抑鬱之中。在被迫搬入一個小公寓後，他在那裏自殺身亡。

他的較爲年長的孩子把在Facebook上發現的線索拼湊起來，發現了他的“雙重生活”。兩位“妻子”去年12月見到了面。

值得一提的是，他和情人生育了4名子女，和妻子生育了8名子女。英厄姆與妻子最大的孩子已有27歲，最小的年僅8歲。

在切姆斯福德驗屍法庭舉行的有關他的死亡的聽證會上，48歲的英厄姆夫人和42歲的情人巴雷特分別坐在法庭的兩端。

英厄姆在1983年和傑奎琳結婚，傑奎琳現年48歲。他們在赫特福德郡的韋林花園城一起購買了一處住所，現在傑奎琳仍然住在那裏。結婚8年後他開始和巴雷特女士交往。巴雷特住在霍茲登，和英厄姆妻子的住處僅相距10英里，20分鐘車程。

審訊得知，英厄姆對“個人生活中發生的事情”感到抑鬱，最終自殺身亡。在自殺前，他還給“有關人員”留下了一些自殺遺言。

在審訊結束後，巴雷特女士說：“他把自己的時間平分給兩個家庭。他真是個優秀的騙子。”

她還告訴《太陽報》，“現在兩個家庭互相都知道了。我們幾乎是同時發現的，最年長的孩子把Facebook上的線索拼湊了起來。”
