OAP in battle for family heirlooms after murder of bigamist toyboy hubby

Diane's 'worldly possessions lie in 20 boxes in Sri Lanka'

- SALLY HIND

A SCOT who lost her life savings when her Sri Lankan toyboy husband was murdered has launched a desperate bid to be reunited with her possessions. 

Diane Peebles wed hotel worker Priyanjana De Zoysa, 25, after meeting him on holiday in 2011 and gave him £100,000 to build them a life there. But he was shot dead in 2017 after it emerged he had a second, younger wife.

The 65-year-old, from Edinburgh, returned to Scotland the following year. But with the house in her dead husband’s name now occupied by her in-laws, she has lost all hope of clawing any of her savings back.
