Mother and daughter killed themselves after being targeted in elaborate scam

Quote:

A mother and daughter died in a suspected suicide pact after being targeted in a tortuous con trick by a woman who used a string of fake personas, a bogus stem-cell trial and a fictional government coverup to extort money from the pair.

Quote:

Cotton then claimed that a doctor in the trial had tried to kill Steph by poisoning her, and that Biotech would be paid £100m if all the patients in the trial died. She said the government was involved and that the press had been banned from reporting the case.

Quote:

“Linsey Cotton told him the scandal was so big the government were trying to cover it up. She said he was keeping Steph alive with his support and Biotech were preventing him from seeing her, in an attempt to kill her.”

To clarify the above just a little, the scammer claimed that 'Steph' was undergoing an experimental stem-cell treatment and that the company testing the treatment was trying to kill the patients off for some reason and that the Government was covering it up.
