2 bodies found in burned mansion

MAESBROOK, England, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Police say they found two bodies in the burned-out country estate of a millionaire British businessman and his family.

The identities had not yet been confirmed. But Christopher Foster, 50, his wife Jillian, 49, and their 15-year-old daughter Kirstie have been missing since the suspected arson attack Tuesday at their home in Shropshire, The Times of London reported Saturday.

"We can confirm that two bodies were recovered last night from the main part of Osbaston House, Maesbrook," said police Superintendant Gary Higgins. "The remains will be examined by a Home Office pathologist and post mortems are due to be carried out later today to establish the cause of death."

Higgins said police were considering "every possible scenario" regarding how and why the fire started.

Foster's company Ulva Limited had gone in to liquidation this year owing nearly $1.6 million in unpaid tax and also facing legal action from one of its suppliers of insulation used by oil rigs.
