Family's bodies spark murder case | |
(20 minutes later) | |
A double murder and suicide case has been started after the bodies of a mother, daughter and father were found in a house in Shropshire. | |
Sue McFall and her daughter Francesca, 18, were found at home in Hampton Road, Oswestry, at about 0500 GMT. | |
Police said a man's body was found at an industrial unit in St Martins, near Oswestry, shortly after 0930 GMT. | |
The man is believed to be Francesca's father Hugh McFall, 48. No-one else is being sought over the deaths. | |
Francesca, known as Frankie to her friends and family, was studying A-levels in her final year at Oswestry School's Sixth Form. | |
Raised alert | |
In her last entry on Facebook at 2230 GMT on Thursday, the teenager said she was looking forward to going to a party. | |
Mr McFall ran a wholesale florist business from home. | |
It is thought he raised the alarm about the bodies in the house, a police source said. | |
Mrs McFall had two other children from a previous marriage; Nikki Gilham, a teacher at the Marches School in Oswestry, and Dan Gilham, who is married with two children of his own. | |
A Home Office pathologist will conduct post-mortem examinations to establish the cause of deaths, and the coroner for Mid and North Shropshire John Ellery has been informed, police said. | |
Uniformed police officers have been standing guard outside the detached house. | Uniformed police officers have been standing guard outside the detached house. |
