Musk has at least 11 children, and one of the mothers has moved with her kids onto the compound, which has a villa spanning 14,400 square feet and another six-bedroom mansion behind it.

The villa, much more luxurious than the state rooms at the palace, was built, I was told, as a private residence for the Assad family.

Staff from Comfort Zone, who it later emerged were not qualified nurses, were called to the villa Ms Agoglia was staying in after she complained of a tight chest.

The women were found when police raided a villa near the capital Phnom Penh on 23 September.

The house in question is a white villa with a balcony offering striking views of rolling hills and a well-manicured garden.
