Police investigating the death of a headteacher, her husband and their daughter are treating it as a murder-suicide, according to a report. The BBC has reported that police believe Emma Pattison was shot by her husband, George, before he killed their daughter Lettie, seven, and then himself.
According to the BBC, the headteacher of Epsom College in Surrey had made a distressed phone call to a family member late on Saturday evening. Further, it reports that by the time the relative arrived at the family home in the school's grounds, all three were dead.
Mr Pattison had a gun licence. Surrey Police are due to give an update on the investigation later today.
Mrs Pattison, who was the first woman to lead Epsom College, has been praised for her inspirational leadership and dedication to her job.
