Police woman killed herself after sending text to husband instead of lover by mistake

   

A police officer killed herself after writing a text to her lover thanking him for a ''wonderful'' date but accidentally sent it to her husband, an inquest heard.

PC Gail Crocker, 46, met a fellow officer while her husband Peter, 49, was on a business trip in London.

Later that evening the mum-of-two typed a message on her mobile saying: "Thank you for a wonderful evening. Only wish we could do this more often".

However the mother-of-two sent the message to her husband of 30 years by mistake, an inquest, in Truro, Cornwall was told.

He came home and she admitted to having a ''one off'' rendezvous with a male colleague but insisted it had never happened before.
