FEMALE COP COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER MISTAKENLY TEXTING HER HUSBAND MESSAGE MEANT FOR HER LOVER

A British policewoman killed herself after writing a text to a colleague thanking him for a 'wonderful' date but accidentally sent it to her husband.

PC Gail Crocker, 46, told the officer 'wish we could do this more often' after an evening out while her husband was on a business trip.

An inquest heard the pair had an argument when he arrived home in St Stephen, Cornwall, and the next day the mother-of-two took an overdose of pills and climbed into the trunk of her car.

She was found dead on June 15, the inquest in Truro was told.

Husband of 30 years, Peter Crocker, 49, said: 'She was my life.'

The inquest recorded a verdict of suicide.
