A couple who had been married 30 years committed suicide after the husband was accused of having indecent pictures of children on a computer, an inquest has heard.
Susan Harding killed herself months after her husband Tom took his own life because she could not bear to be parted from him.
Each left a note professing their love for the other before committing suicide, the hearing was told.
The Cardiff inquest heard Mrs Harding left a note which said: 'I need to be with dad.'
The inquest heard Mr Harding, 56, had a hobby of repairing second-hand computers before selling them on.
The father-of-two was arrested after a 'small amount' of paedophile images were found on a computer he had sold on.
The inquest heard Mr Harding explained the images must have been downloaded by a previous owner.
But he feared he would not be believed - and took a fatal overdose at their home in Whitchurch, Cardiff.
His wife, 55, then killed herself three months later - on the day before her husband's inquest was due to be held.
Coroner Mary Hassell said: 'He admitted the images were found on the computer and said they got there by mistake, given that he had images of all sorts of things.
'The small amount of indecent images found on more than 22 hard drives meant that Mr Harding's explanation was plausible.
'But he didn't realise it may be accepted - and that led to him taking his own life.'
The couple's daughter Sharon Harding said: 'My mother and father had no financial troubles - it was just his death that totally destroyed her.'
Cardiff coroner Miss Hassell recorded verdicts of suicide on both Mr and Mrs Harding.
