Mark Cambell arrested after wife stabbed to death
A wealthy casino entrepreneur has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing his businesswoman wife to death as they attempted to rebuild their marriage after planning to divorce.
Mark Cambell, 53, was discovered with serious knife wounds to his neck and wrists close to the body of his wife, Olga Pleguezuelos, 35, at their penthouse apartment.
The couple were reported to have initiated divorce proceedings but were living together again in Harrow-on-the-Hill, north west London, after several months apart.
Ms Pleguezuelos’s Spanish family today spoke of their horror at the brutal death. They said that Mr Campbell had called police to the couple’s home on Monday morning. Her sister, Eva, said: “It’s very difficult to cope with the idea that such a young person like Olga has died at the hands of someone who ended her life because she wanted to be independent, free, defend her rights and be able to exercise her career as she though fit.”
One resident of the block where the couple lived said: “I don’t know the woman but I spoke to a neighbour of hers who said that she heard a lot of arguing coming from her flat late Sunday night.”
Ms Pleguezuelos, who spoke four languages, including English, Spanish and Portuguese, was a marketing manager for the London-based gaming firm Aristocrat Europe. She was due to take up a new post as sales director for the firm in Las Vegas later this year.
Her husband was a director of a company promoting one of the world’s biggest casino projects. The Gran Scala casino city in northern Spain will comprise around 32 hotel-casinos, 18 theme parks, a horse racing track, shops and museums. Lee más »
Mark Cambell confeso a los investigadores de Scotland Yard que asesino a Eva Pleguezuelos
Mark Cambell confesó a los investigadores de Scotland Yard que asesinó a su esposa, Olga Pleguezuelos, según aseguró ayer la hermana de la víctima. “Por lo poco que la Policía nos ha dicho él manifestó que lo había hecho”, dijo Eva Pleguezuelos a Cope Huesca.
Cambell fue el autor de la llamada que alertó del crimen a la Policía a las seis y media de la mañana del lunes. La hizo desde el ático del edificio de apartamentos de Elmfield Close, en el barrio londinense de Harrow, en el que vivía la mujer, con la que estaba en trámites de separación. Su intención era entregarse.
La autopsia, practicada al cadáver en el hospital Northwick Park, reveló que la causa de la muerte fueron varias cuchilladas, según reveló ayer la prensa londinense.
Cambell fue inicialmente ingresado en un hospital para que fuera tratado de las heridas –también de arma blanca– que presentaba en el cuello y en las manos. El miércoles fue trasladado a la comisaría de Harrow, en la que fue interrogado sobre el crimen, y ayer regresó al centro hospitalario. Cuando reciba el alta será puesto a disposición de un juez, el cual, tras una breve vista en la que le preguntará si se declara culpable o inocente, deberá decidir si lo encarcela o lo deja en libertad con o sin fianza.
