          Shannon Matthews’ kidnapper dies 16 years after nine-year-old went missing

          A man jailed for what a judge described as a “truly despicable” plot to abduct nine-year-old Shannon Matthews has died.

          Michael Donovan became notorious in 2008 after the schoolgirl was found alive in his flat in Batley Carr, West Yorkshire, 24 days after she was reported missing from her home in nearby Dewsbury.

          Donovan died after collapsing at a mental health unit in West Yorkshire on Tuesday, the PA news agency understands.

          He was jailed alongside Shannon’s mother, Karen Matthews, after a jury heard how they planned her daughter’s disappearance in an attempt to claim a cash reward.

          Donovan was the uncle of Shannon’s step-father, Craig Meehan.

          According to The Sun, Donovan, who was released from prison in 2012, collapsed at the Three Valleys Hospital, in Keighley, West Yorkshire, which is a mental health unit.

          The paper said the 54-year-old has been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
