A woman from Leicester has told us she believes her husband took his own life because of a gambling addiction. Annie Ashton has started a petition to get free bets and other gambling incentives banned. Her husband Luke had managed to give up gambling but slipped back after accepting a free online bet – he took his own life four months later.
