　　英国一位超市经理在过去20多年中分别和两位女子组建家庭，而且两个家只相隔10英里。事情败露后，这名男子自杀身亡。

　　50岁的安德鲁•英厄姆生活在赫特福德郡，他和两名女子分别组建家庭，生下了共12名子女。两个家庭只相隔20分钟车程。

　　审讯得知，当他已婚30年的合法妻子杰奎琳和情人阿妮塔•巴雷特都发现他脚踩两只船后，这名男子自杀身亡。

　　去年12月东窗事发后，两位妻子都抛弃了他，于是他陷入抑郁之中。在被迫搬入一个小公寓后，他在那里自杀身亡。

　　他的较为年长的孩子把在Facebook上发现的线索拼凑起来，发现了他的“双重生活”。两位“妻子”去年12月见到了面。

　　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。英厄姆与妻子最大的孩子已有27岁，最小的年仅8岁。

　　在切姆斯福德验尸法庭举行的有关他的死亡的听证会上，48岁的英厄姆夫人和42岁的情人巴雷特分别坐在法庭的两端。

　　英厄姆在1983年和杰奎琳结婚，杰奎琳现年48岁。他们在赫特福德郡的韦林花园城一起购买了一处住所，现在杰奎琳仍然住在那里。结婚8年后他开始和巴雷特女士交往。巴雷特住在霍兹登，和英厄姆妻子的住处仅相距10英里，20分钟车程。

　　审讯得知，英厄姆对“个人生活中发生的事情”感到抑郁，最终自杀身亡。在自杀前，他还给“有关人员”留下了一些自杀遗言。

　　在审讯结束后，巴雷特女士说：“他把自己的时间平分给两个家庭。他真是个优秀的骗子。”

　　她还告诉《太阳报》，“现在两个家庭互相都知道了。我们几乎是同时发现的，最年长的孩子把Facebook上的线索拼凑了起来。”
