Mathilde “Tilly” Lamb and her husband Roger both plunged to their deaths, days apart, while on holiday with their four sons. There were reports of a loud, “furious argument” before Tilly, 43, fell from the third floor window of their rented holiday flat in Essaouira. Friends of the Lambs claim the pair had fallen out over plans to sell their home in Penham, Worcs, and emigrate to New Zealand. But Roger’s brother Mark Rogerson said this was wrong according to what one of the boys had said. Tilly died three days later in hospital. A day later Roger, 47, fell to his death from the second floor balcony of the Sofitel Hotel. Sons Angus, 16, Monty, 15, Henry, 11, and Felix, nine, are being cared for by relatives back in Britain. Moroccan police said Tilly “stumbled” and the railing “gave way”, but photographs seem to show the window’s base was at waist level and there was a balustrade. The flat has since been re-let. Its owner Majid Naimi, 24, claimed: “There have never been any safety issues. Something very sinister happened. There had been a furious argument heard by neighbours a few minutes beforehand.” An inquest into Mrs Lamb’s death will not be held for 15 months.
