Assia Wevill (May 15, 1927 – March 23, 1969) was a German-born woman who escaped the Nazis, lived in British Palestine and later in Britain, and is best known for her relationship with the English poet Ted Hughes. She killed herself and also her young daughter, Shura. Six years earlier, Hughes's wife Sylvia Plath had also committed suicide. The deaths led to rumours that Hughes was an abusive husband and father. Wevill committed suicide in similar fashion to Plath, by use of a gas oven.
