Detectives said today they believe millionaire businessman Christopher Foster killed his wife and teenage daughter before committing suicide.






Two bodies found in the burnt-out remains of the family's Shropshire mansion have been identified as Mr Foster and his wife Jill, officers said.


Further tests are needed to determine the identity of a third corpse discovered in the property, but it is believed to be the couple's 15-year-old daughter Kirstie, a press conference heard.



The Fosters were last seen when they attended a friend's barbecue on the evening of 25 August.

The family returned home to Osbaston House in Maesbrook afterwards and Kirstie is thought to have stayed up chatting to friends online until about 1am the next day.

1. Family Eliminators, they call these types.

Scary as hell.

2. Tragic...

the investigation had been going on some time, and we'd been hoping against hope that there was another explanation for their disappearance.

At first it was thought that he might have enemies who murdered him; but it seems that it was murder-suicide as it so often turns out to be.

What a horrible way to go.

3. Tragic but a selfish bastard, really

Sort of "If I can't have all this (family, house, dogs, horses...) then nobody can.

4. The headlines never reflect this do they?

Instead of "Millionaire businessman killed ..." they should write
"Corrupt, crooked failure murdered ..." but the bastards never do.
