The widower of a senior BBC executive who killed herself by walking into the sea has blamed the corporation for her death.
Kari Boto, 53, a mother of three, drowned at Felixstowe, Suffolk last June, two weeks after resigning her post.
Her husband Tom Boto made an outspoken attack on the corporation yesterday, saying she was bullied and given no support after uncovering "rotten work practices" at the World Service Trust.
She was the director of international operations for the charitable trust, which spends £17 million a year on programmes in the developing world.
More than 170 of Mrs Boto's former BBC colleagues have signed a petition from her husband raising complaints about the trust.
The corporation has denied that Mrs Boto, who used her maiden name Kari Blackburn, did not receive support.
It said it had conducted an "independent, detailed and thorough" inquiry into the help she received.
