Death of an Online Casino Exec’s Wife
11 May
Recent reports have stated that the CEO and founder of one of the internet’s gaming social networks, Mark Campbell, has been accused of the killing of his wife.
Campbell, 53, allegedly attacked his wife Olga Pleguezuelos, while she was sleeping, after reading a text message on her phone that her lover has sent.
Pleguezuelos was reported dead last year after police found her lifeless body in her London home. The trial of Campbell in the case is currently underway.
The prosecutions arguments lie with Pleguezuelos waking up in the middle of the attack and attempted to defend herself against her husband. Campbell then proceeded to stab his wife to death. Prior to calling an ambulance, Campbell has slit his own wrists.
A week prior to the murder, Pleguezuelos had reportedly told her husband that she would be leaving him and moving to Las Vegas, where with her new man and new job she would be “starting afresh”.
The prosecutor stated that there was “nothing sudden or temporarily about it; that one could see from his own writings recovered from a bin, that he has been rationalising this situation for a while”.
Proceedings in the trial continue.
