Lover faked own death to dump me

CALLOUS Dianne Craven pretended to have her lover's baby - then ditched him by faking her own death.

The married mum of three made out she was her brother when she sent a text saying she had suffered a fatal brain haemorrhage.

Heartless Dianne then sent other texts giving lover Stuart Shortland details of her funeral.



He was so shocked he developed alopecia and went BALD.

But the ruse ended when The Sun found pictures of Dianne on the internet taken three months after she "died".

Last night former barman Stuart, 45, said: "To lose a loved one is bad enough, but then to discover it was all a sham has shattered me."

Stuart was living in Portugal when Dianne, 49, texted him last year from the UK to say their "baby" girl Ruby was born on November 10.




Vanished

Dianne even nicknamed her Roo and said she looked like Stuart.

But when he flew to the UK to see mum and baby they had vanished.

Five days later he got the text from Dianne's phone saying: "im di's bro dave theres no easy way to say this so here goes. She died last Saturday afternoon brain haemorage they say."

Stuart then got texts about the funeral - but when he tried calling there was no answer.

The couple, both from Hull, met in 2004 and started an on-off affair that lasted years.

At one point Dianne left hubby Gary, 49, to live with Stuart in Portugal. But she returned two weeks later.

Stuart could find no record of the death or birth.

Then The Sun found a Facebook picture of Dianne.

She had moved to Bali with husband Gary. And we photographed her in Hull visiting her family.

She refused to comment.

Gary looked stunned when told about the con.

Stuart said last night: "She is a cruel, twisted woman who has done this for her own sick enjoyment."
