Documentary Description
In August 2008, a devastating fire raged at a Shropshire mansion. As
the flames engulfed Osbaston House, mystery surrounded the disappearance
of Christopher Foster, his wife Jill and 15-year-old daughter Kirstie. What
started out as a fire became a double-murder, suicide and arson
investigation that would shock Britain. As vital evidence went up in
smoke before their eyes, the police were faced with a number of
conspiracy theories and a frenzy of press speculation about the Fosters'
fate. With exclusive access to the West Mercia police's
painstaking investigation and interviews with close friends and family
members, The Millionaire and the Murder Mansion charts the complex
jigsaw puzzle involving pathologists, forensic anthropologists, and
arson, ballistics and CCTV specialists. Interspersed with the
detailed investigation are the emotional interviews with family members
and friends who provide an insight into the dark secrets and many sides
of the apparently doting husband and father who committed this horrific
crime.
