The family of the London-based couple who were found dead beside a hot tub in a luxury villa in Spain have spoken out for the first time. Mother-of-two Thomasina Tobin, 51, passed away while attempting to save her husband, 48-year-old Patrick Tobin, after he became stuck underwater at a spa in a luxury villa the couple were holidaying at in Colina del Sol, Valencia, Spanish police believe. The couple, who lived and worked in London for several years, were staying at the gated complex - which forms part of the Cap Blanc residential estate in Cullera - when their bodies were discovered by their two teenage sons on August 25 at approximately 5pm.
