The Millionaire and the Murder Mansion

The Millionaire and the Murder Mansion

Watch this episode now on 4oD Kirsty Foster

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.

  5. Thanks for getting back to me regarding the viewing via here - I understand that you have contractual obligations so in these sort of cases it would be very useful to have an advanced heads up on the site as to when the programme is next going to be broadcast and that way you could drive viewers to your channels - cheers, Simon

  8. I watched this TWICE on More 4 on Saturday as after watching the first showing I could not believe what I had seen so watched it an hour later. It left no stone unturned and left me feeling very sad for Jill and Kirstie.Thank you for showing this excellent production and I hope it gets repeated again in the future.
