SHROPSHIRE, UK: Kennels for the families' dogs.THE DELAPADATED remains of ‘murder mansion’ where a failed business man shot dead his wife and daughter and set alight to the grounds have been released by a British urban explorer. In a crime that shocked the UK, millionaire Chris Foster (50) shot dead his family as well as their pet dogs and horses when he could no longer cope with the financial stresses of spiralling debts and loss of prestige in August 2008. After shooting his wife Jill (49) and daughter Kirsty (15) Chris Foster attempted to burn his £1.2 million mansion. Pictures show the remains of rusty burnt out cars, dog kennels, and a ruined interior of a once luxurious family home, including kitchen, living room and poignant images of the family’s possessions. Up-to-date images show how the structure has now been completely demolished with nothing left but a patch of flattened ground and lawn. Sales Advisor Jason Kirkam (43) from Stafford snapped what remained following the aftermath of the horrific murders at Maesbrook, near Oswestry on August 26th 2008.
