Wife of murdered Isis hostage Alan Henning 'was having affair'http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/wife-murdered-isis-hostage-alan-henning-was-having-affair-1480471The wife of murdered aid worker Alan Henning was having an affair with her husband's brother-in-law, it has been claimed.
Henning's sister, Gill Kenyon, claimed that Barbara Henning, who publicly appealed for her aid worker husband to be released, has been living with her husband Pat Kenyon since January.
She told The Sun that the pair had been living together since Alan Henning set off for Syria in December last year to help refugees from the Syrian civil war.
Mrs Kenyon, 50, told the paper that she was "tortured" by her decision not to tell her brother of the affair before he left for Syria.
"I never told Alan before he went. It has tortured me ever since," she told the paper. "After his capture Alan must have been in his cell thinking about getting back to his family.
"He will have had so long to ponder things and what would he have had to come back to?" Mrs Kenyon told the Sun.
Mrs Kenyon told the newspaper that she did not participate in vigils held in Henning's memory as she did not want to run into her husband and sister-in-law.
"I needed to grieve for my brother but I couldn't go to the vigils because Pat and Barbara were together and I was grieving for my marriage. The pain of what I have been through is just indescribable. I've lost my brother and my husband."
Barbara Henning did not deny having an affair.
"Everyone who needed to know knew about us. This started way before Alan went to Syria," she told the newspaper.
