An inquest into the deaths of ruined millionaire Chris Foster along with his Wolverhampton-born wife and daughter were due to start this morning.

The two-day hearing is expected to reveal details of how the businessman murdered his wife Jill and 15-year-old daughter Kirstie before torching their £1.2 million mansion.

The burnt bodies of the family were discovered in the fire-ravaged wreckage of their luxury home in Maesbrook, Shropshire, days after the blaze in August last year.

Detectives launched a murder inquiry after tests showed Mrs Foster, 49, had been shot in the head.
