As snatcher Mick Donovan has reportedly died, the Mirror takes a look at what happened to Karen Matthews, the evil mum who hatched a fake kidnap plot of her own daughter with his help

Karen Matthewsbecame Britain's 'worst mum' when she staged the kidnapping of her own daughter.

Schoolgirl Shannon Matthews was nine years old when she was terrifyingly held captive in Michael Donovan's flat for 24 days in February 2008. Mick, the grotty uncle of her mum's boyfriend, kept her hidden in his council flat while hundreds of police and thousands of locals searched for her round-the-clock in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
