Varley’s social media feed included photos of himself, his immaculate home, successful career, and his miniature Pinscher dog Maximus, who the couple apparently doted on.
Fallows said: “Everything’s on social media, everything is brilliant, and I think if you scrape away the veneer of that you come to something that is entirely different.
“The picture they tried to present to the outside world was one of respectability,” he said.
“The truth is far more sinister and darker than that.”
