British grandmother scammed out of £1m savings killed in car crash in Ghana

A British widow died in a car crash in Ghana after she was conned by romance fraudsters out of her entire £1million life savings, an inquest has heard. Janet Fordham suffered fatal injuries in the collision on February 14, 2023, having travelled to the African country the previous October. At the time of travelling to Ghana, the 69-year-old was living in a caravan with her son Martin and daughter-in-law Melanie Fordham in Honiton, Devon, after using all of her savings and selling up her home and land.
