Jailed mother 'faked daughter's cancer to keep husband'

An Ohio woman who faked her daughter’s leukaemia to rake in thousands in donations said she concocted the scheme to keep her husband from leaving.

In an interview from prison, Teresa Milbrandt told The Columbus Dispatch that she regretted what she did, which included shaving her daughter Hannah’s head and giving her sleeping pills to make it look like she was undergoing chemotherapy.
