The third body found at a burnt-out rural mansion has been identified as that of 15-year-old Kirstie Foster, police said today.

Police believe her father, Christopher Foster, killed the teenager and her mother Jill before setting the house on fire and killing himself in the early hours of August 26.

Detectives used DNA testing to identify Kirstie's body, which was found in the main part of Osbaston House in Maesbrook, Shropshire, on August 31.
