A nurse has spoken of her devastation after her best friend conned her out of more than £100,000. Susan Hughes handed over the money to Anna Bonner, 40, believing it was being used to help a man called 'Ste Lucas' fight cancer.
Susan had fallen for a man called Ste while he was working on the door of a nightclub, and believed Anna when she told him he was her uncle. But after Susan had spent years handing over her NHS wages, loans, and cash borrowed on credit cards, she made the shocking discovery that her best friend had been lying to her.
Now, having been driven into debt and a mental health breakdown by Anna's lies, Susan doesn't know if the 'Ste Lucas' she was communicating with ever existed, or was a fictional character based on the bouncer she fell for.

Last week, a judge at Liverpool Crown Court labelled Anna Bonner “greedy, devious and manipulative” after she pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation. She was jailed for 28 months.
“I have a soft heart, I like looking after people, and Anna took advantage of that," Susan says now. "She manipulated me and took me for every penny I had.
“I truly believed that my money was going to help a man who I cared about deeply, and I believed wanted a future with me. When I found out that it was all a sham, I was devastated. Anna was my best friend, I was her chief bridesmaid, we had lived together and worked together. The deception is very cruel."
“I felt so foolish when the truth came out, but I now realise that the shame and the humiliation is all hers. She has left me with nothing, but I have my dignity and my self-respect, and that is priceless.”
