× A DISABLED man who was mugged by a masked thief weeks after both his wife and parents died has been ‘saved’ by the support of local residents who have rallied round to help raise funds. Darren Barnes, of King Street in Goldthorpe, was left at his lowest after the death of his parents Margaret and Trevor, who died days apart from each other. The 48-year-old, who has learning difficulties, was devastated at the loss of his parents who he relied on for support. But then on Christmas Eve, days after the death of his mother, Darren’s beloved wife Sonia suddenly died aged 59 - leaving him with no immediate family and contemplating taking his own life.
