Sindika Dokolo, husband of Africa's richest woman Isabel dos Santos dies in Dubai

The husband of Africa's richest woman has died in a diving accident off the coast of Dubai after getting into trouble.

Sindika Dokolo, 48, married Isabel dos Santos in 2002 after they met as students at King's College in London. Their wedding in Angola - where 70 per cent of residents live below the breadline - cost £2.5 million. 

The Congolese businessman and art collector was an experienced driver but could not be revived after getting into trouble on Thursday, The Times reported. Cedric Mala, a friend, told the newspaper: 'Unfortunately the last outing was fatal. The doctors tried to resuscitate him without success.' 

Mrs dos Santos posted a photograph with her husband and one of their three children on the day of his death. It was captioned: 'My love...' Art was Mr Dokolo's passion, according to his family. 

He was the son of the founder of the Democratic Republic of Congo's Bank of Kinshasa.
