Did anyone watch this?

Having been cleared why are they looking for him, he can't be taken to court again, can he.

Also what happened to his first wife and his daughter? I understand they died in a fire which they think she (I forget the women's name) set herself, but there was something about a half burnt materess where her body was found? I tried searching but nothing comes up?

You might need to explain to those of us who haven't seen this programme what it is about.

It was about a guy from New Zealand who married a British woman from Manchester, her father owned a skip business. He took her to Denmark for a holiday and she ened up drawned in a pool. Apparently he planned it before they even got married, or at least her death.

The family kept saying how much she hated water yet it turned out she could swim, so kind of doesn't make sense, well not to me - but little does.

Anyway, he took out 14 life insurance policies on her to the value of two and a half million plus lots of travel insurances (how the insurance industry did not wonder about this I am not sure).

He was tried for murder but the judge acquitted him as the pathologist who gave evidence was a moron.

Turns out he had committed a fraud of €15 million in Germany while working for a bank, a job he was not qualified to do but managed to do it. He moved to Australia and had a daughter, but was arrested and got a really light sentence in Germany. While in jail he was approached by a gang who demanded $5 million dollars, they threatened his I think she was his ex girlfriend and also his daughter, daughter I think was four. His response was no woman is worth $5 million even if she is my daughter

Girlfriend and daughter died resault of a house fire.

I guessed Paula Leeson was either Nick Leeson's wife or he'd had a sex change...

Other than the daughter bit, I tend to agree with him.
