Singer and comedian Victoria Vera Blyth, 40, was found dead after her husband David Thomas Blyth, 53, killed her before turning the gun on himself at their home in Turkey's capital, Ankara, while their children were in the house on June 11. Friends of the couple yesterday claimed that the tragedy may have unfolded because Scottish-born Mr Blyth found out his wife was planning to leave him over his string of affairs.
Meanwhile Sheena Lumsden and her husband Tony, who were friends of the couple when Mr Lumsden worked with Mr Blyth in Korea, were left completely shocked and said they had a 'sense of disbelief' when they found out. Speaking to the Mail at their home in Ayr, Mrs Lumsden, 67, said Mrs Blyth had been 'like a daughter' to her and added: 'It's a total shock, it really is. I just keep thinking about those children.
