Diane Peebles, 61, from Edinburgh, was left stuck in Sri Lanka after the brutal gun murder of her partner Priyanjana De Zoysa - 33 years her junior - in 2017. She was lucky to escape Sri Lanka alive after armed men turned up looking for her at the hotel she was staying in just before flying back to Scotland. Diane spent £60,000 to build a house for her and her husband in the grounds of his parents’ home. She was told it was difficult for a foreigner to own property in Sri Lanka so agreed to the house being put in her husband’s name. Diane remained trapped in Sri Lanka for some time longer and was still expected to fund the family’s lifestyle.
