BABY has been left orphaned after his parents were killed in a quad bike crash as they honeymooned on a paradise island.

Newlyweds Jonathan and Emma Gray, described as being “totally in love”, died in the Maldives just a week after getting married.

Their son, Jake, believed to be around four months old, was being cared for by relatives as they set off on their dream trip to the Kuredu island hotel and Spa last Thursday.


But just two days later, their Indian Ocean trip ended in tragedy when the powerful vehicle left a sand-covered road and smashed into a tree. Jonathan, 25, a chemical company manager, died at the scene and primary school teacher, Emma, also 25, lost her fight for life as she was about to be ferried to a nearby island for treatment.

The unnamed driver, who was giving them a lift back to the hotel, was serious but stable in hospital at the island’s capital, Male.

Detectives are waiting to question him over the tragedy, which is said to have happened at around 4.15am on Saturday.

A guest who met Emma and Jonathan, said: “They were a fantastic couple and so totally in love.”

Floral tributes, teddy bears and an opened champagne bottle from the wedding were left outside the couple’s home in Halifax, West Yorks, yesterday.

Jonathan’s twin brother Michael fought back tears as he said: “It’s such a shock. It hasn’t sunk in.”
