TONIGHT: Ten Alps-produced The Millionaire and the Murder Mansion
The Millionaire and the Murder Mansion, produced by Ten Alps-owned Films of Record, airs tonight on Channel 4 at 9pm.
Last summer, as the August bank holiday drew to a close, a devastating fire raged at the Shropshire mansion of self-made millionaire Christopher Foster. As the flames engulfed Osbaston House, mystery surrounded the disappearance of Christopher, his wife Jill and 15-year-old daughter Kirsty.
What started out as a fire became a double-murder, suicide and arson investigation which would shock Britain. As vital evidence went up in smoke before their eyes, the police were faced with a plethora of conspiracy theories from staged disappearance or kidnapping to a Russian mafia hit or the self-annihilation of a once successful businessman faced with bankruptcy and social disgrace.
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 explores the mystery of what drove Christopher Foster to destroy everything he loved.
The Millionaire and the Murder Mansion is directed by Nick Poyntz, produced by Adrian Gatton and executive produced by Roger Graef and Eve Kay for Films of Record, a Ten Alps company.
