Abbie Emmett had married professional motorbike racer Sean just days before
A young British bride has plunged to her death on honeymoon in Dubai.
It is understood Abbie Emmett, 27, fell out of a window at the hotel where she was staying with new husband Sean, 43, a professional motorbike racer.
Police in Dubai are investigating the circumstances of the fall on Tuesday, just days after the couple arrived in the city after their wedding in South Africa.
Devastated friends of vicar's daughter Abbie said yesterday they were shocked by the news of her sudden death.
A friend, who did not want to give her name, said: "Abbie was a lovely person. We have been friends for a number of years.
"I couldn't believe it when I heard what had happened. I heard she went through a window in their hotel while they were on honeymoon.
They only married a few weeks ago, while they were in Cape Town."
Abbie and Sean, who was a professional Grand Prix motorcyclist, shared a first-floor flat in Addlestone, Surrey.
Neighbour Nicolene Turvey, 27, said yesterday: "I feel so sad. She is such a young girl, the same age as me.
It's devastating for everyone. She really wanted to have kids and she had that maternal instinct."
Grand Prix rider Sean took part in the three-round South African Class TT series on a 1976 Suzuki RG500 bike in Port Elizabeth, Pretoria and Johannesburg over the last two months.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We were made aware of the death of a British national in Dubai on 19 February. We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
