IRISH WOMAN IN HOLS SUICIDE PACT
DOUBLE DROWNING TRAGEDY Husband & wife film their pool deaths Last message says: We’ll be angels in heaven
AN Irish woman and her Egyptian husband killed themselves in a suicide drowning pact, it is believed.
Jennifer Marie Boutros, 60, and her 43-year-old husband Peter George were found in a swimming pool at an Egyptian resort.
In a video message the pair said: “Tomorrow we will become angels in heaven.” The grim incident took place
in a friend’s villa in the city of Hurghada on the Red Sea coast.
Mr Boutros, an Egyptian national, was a computer programmer while Jennifer Marie held dual US and Irish citizenship.
Major General Hossam Kamal said police initially thought the pair had been murdered.
But they found a video in which the couple said they were killing themselves to see if there was a world after death.
It is understood the camera was in a fixed position in the pool and recorded the deaths.
Al Arabiya reported a message from the couple said: “Sweetheart, this is our last night in this world.
“Our spirits are not happy on earth and deserve to live in a happy eternal life.”
Nothing had been stolen from the villa and there were no other indications of a disturbance.
It is unclear when the tragedy happened but first reports were out on Friday.
