A married British woman has died only days after travelling to India to meet her younger lover. Angela Slinn, 45, of Crewe, Cheshire, allegedly did not tell her estranged husband that she was flying to see Jaspal Singh, 30, whom she met on Facebook.
But the mother-of-three died on Sunday after being taken to hospital with pneumonia about a week after landing in the country on May 4.
Mrs Slinn, who worked as a nurse, had spoken of the trip to her children, aged 15 to 24 – but did not mention it to her husband Stephen, 48,
Her mother-in-law Doreen Slinn said: 'I don't understand how a healthy woman can suddenly die like that. She went to India because she thought she'd found love - but it turned into tragedy.'
Mr Singh - who lives in Ludhiana, Punjab, and first met his lover in 2014 - told the newspaper: 'I can't believe she is no more.'
Mrs Slinn, a former St Andrews University student who is from Dundee and has also lived in Germany, described Mr Singh on her Facebook profile as 'my handsome man Jaspal'.
In return, Mr Singh, who studied at Satish Chander Dhawan Government College, has commented on a number of her photographs, referring to her as 'beautiful' and 'my love'.
The pair used the social network to regularly share photographs of one another, under which they both often declared their feelings.
On January 2, the couple changed their relationship status to confirm to friends and family that they were together.
Beneath the post, Mr Singh commented requesting mutual friends to confirm the pair's projected marriage date with Mrs Slinn.
Mrs Slinn lived in a £125,000 detached house in Crewe with her husband, but it is understood he had left the property before she went to India.
The family were today too upset to speak when approached.
Mrs Slinn was known throughout the town, and is believed to have recently acted as a carer.
A member of staff at the nearby Co-op said: 'She used to come in here quite regularly to do shopping for someone she cared for, she was really lovely, really nice. I'm so shocked.'
One person described the 45-year-old as a friendly face in the community.
The neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: 'She was very quiet, never any trouble.
'I'm so shocked, it's such a quiet road. She used to wave to me on her way out in the morning.'
